Abstract: Obesity is major world-wide health issue; simultaneously, there is an increase in knee arthroplasty. Some heath authorities withhold surgery to morbidly obese groups, citing poorer outcomes and higher levels of complications. Current literature analyses outcomes and complications, but there is a paucity of data in outcomes of obese patients, dependent on implant type.
