Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in surgical outcomes, yet it is often overlooked. Dr. Avinash Inabathula from the Indiana Orthopaedic Institute will discuss how nutrition status is assessed, why it is underdiagnosed in surgical patients, and its impact on infection risk in total joint replacement. Key nutrients for surgical recovery, options for nutrition optimization before surgery, and the effects of GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound will be reviewed. This session provides valuable insights into the role of nutrition in improving surgical success and overall health.
