The Musculoskeletal Effects ofPerioperative Smoking
Although the carcinogenic consequences of smoking are wellknown, further research is needed on the effects of smoking on
musculoskeletal health and surgical outcomes. Orthopaedic
perioperative complications of smoking include impaired healing,
increased infection, delayed and/or impaired fracture union andarthrodesis, and inferior arthroplasty outcomes. The incorporationof smoking cessation protocols such as transdermal patches,chewing gum, lozenges, inhalers, sprays, bupropion, andvarenicline in the perioperative period may result in substantialbenefits for patients’ musculoskeletal and general health.
