Patients less likely to lose weight following a knee replacement: results from the osteoarthritis initiative.
The purpose of this study was to examine weight change patterns preoperatively and postoperatively among overweight/obese knee replacement patients. Overweight and obese patients initially lost weight during the interval including knee replacement; however, they were less likely to lose more than 2.5% of their weight in the 1 to 2 years immediately after the surgery.

Preferences and motivation for weight loss among knee replacement patients: implications for a patient-centered weight loss intervention.
The purpose of this study was to identify knee replacement patient preferences for weight loss programs and qualitatively understand previous motives for weight loss attempts as well as strategies used to facilitate behavior changes. It provides a preliminary examination into the motives for weight loss, strategies utilized during past weight loss attempts, and preferences for future weight loss programs as described by knee replacement patients.
