- Abstract
Evidence linking increased body weight to osteoarthritis of the knee and the high prevalence of obesity underscore the importance of defining the outcome of total knee arthroplasty in obese patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical and radiographic results of total knee arthroplasties performed in obese patients with those of total knee arthroplasties performed in nonobese patients.
