%X Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the body mass index on the postoperative functional knee data of patients who have undergone unicondylar knee arthroplasty with a fixed insert system. Patients and methods: Body mass index was calculated with the method proposed by the World Health Organization. The patients were divided into two groups based on their body mass index, those with a body mass index of below and above 30 kg/m2. Preoperative and postoperative joint range of motion, Visual Analogue Scale, Knee Society Scores, Oxford Knee Scores, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index scores were used to identify the patients¡¯ satisfaction and the functional status of their knees. Results: Among the 82 patients were 44 patients (Group 1) with a body mass index below 30 kg/m2 and 38 patients (Group 2) with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of their demographic data other than their body weights and body mass indexes, and their follow-up lengths (p£¿0.05). A statistically significant improvement in the postoperative period was identified in both groups in the intragroup evaluation of the functional knee scores (p:0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was found in these parameters between the groups (p£¿0.05). Conclusion: Body mass index reaching the level of obesity would not affect postoperative clinical results
