Implication

Narrative review reveals mechanical loading as the primary driver of knee osteoarthritis in obesity, highlighting the need for biomechanically targeted clinical therapies.

Key Points

To evaluate the role of mechanical loading as a major pathological driver in obesity-related knee osteoarthritis and propose an integrated biomechanical management strategy.
Reviewed pathological changes in the osteochondral unit and surrounding connective tissues associated with obesity.
Synthesized evidence regarding the combined impacts of excessive joint loading, joint malalignment, muscle weakness, and metabolic factors.
Identifies abnormal joint loading, paired with malalignment and muscle weakness, as the principal cause of structural joint deterioration in obesity-related osteoarthritis.
Establishes a conceptual model of disease progression that prioritizes mechanical correction alongside metabolic control in clinical treatment frameworks.
