Abstract
Revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most demanding as well as increasing orthopaedic operations. The influence of a higher body weight or body mass index (BMI) on the results of revision TKA is not evident so far. We therefore hypothesised that obesity as well as a high body weight could influence the results of revision TKA.
