Abstract

Introduction

There is a longstanding presumed association between obesity, complications, and revision surgery in primary knee arthroplasty. This has more recently been called into question, particularly in centres where a high volume of arthroplasty is performed. We investigated the correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI), mortality, and revision surgery.

Method

This was a cohort study of at least 10 years following primary knee arthroplasty from a single high volume arthroplasty unit. Mortality and revision rates were collected from all patients who underwent primary knee arthroplasty between 2009 and 2010. Kaplan Meier analysis was performed.
