Abstract

Obesity is a modifiable risk factor that is associated with osteoarthritis (OA). The pathogenesis is multifactorial which includes mechanical, humoral, and genetic factors. We discuss the role of obesity in this article in the early onset and progression of knee OA and whether there is a correlation with arthroplasty and the prevention of obesity with OA in the obese population.
