PATIENTS WERE REVIEWED CLINICALLY AND RADIOLOGICALLY AT SIX AND 18 MONTHS AND THREE, FIVE, AND NINE YEARS POST-OPERATIVELY. ALL PRE-OPERATIVE DATA, PERI-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS, AND KNEE SOCIETY SCORES WERE PROSPECTIVELY RECORDED. PATIENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO NON-OBESE (BMI < 30 KG/M2 ) AND OBESE (BMI = 30 KG/M2 ) GROUPS.

A TOTAL OF 50 PATIENTS (60 TKRS) WERE LOST TO FOLLOW-UP AND WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE ANALYSIS. THE STUDY SAMPLE THEREFORE COMPRISED THE REMAINING 345 PATIENTS. NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE WAS FOUND IN THE RATE OF PERI-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS, REVISION OR IMPLANT SURVIVAL BETWEEN OBESE AND NON-OBESE PATIENTS NINE YEARS AFTER TKR.
