Cementless mobile-bearing UKR has low 10-year reoperation and revision rates across in all BMI groups, and there are no significant differences between the groups. Although higher BMI groups had slightly worse functional outcomes, the improvement in function compared to preoperatively  tended to be better. This study suggests that BMI should not be considered a contraindication for the cementless mobile-bearing UKR.
