Obesity is currently progressing at an incredible rate, reaching an increase of at least 10% per year. At the same time, an increase in the need for total joint arthroplasty in this category of patients is also expected. Absolute benefit of joint replacement, particularly the TKA, even in patients with obesity is unquestionable. However, from an orthopedic surgeon, it requires the most careful preoperative planning to minimize the risks of complications after surgery, and from the patient ― reducing the body mass index (BMI) and the cardinal change in the way of life. Together, these measures will achieve a level of quality of life for patients with total arthroplasty without obesity, as well as reduce the costs of rehabilitation measures.

Key words: knee arthroplasty, obesity, knee, primary arthroplasty.
