This study aimed to assess the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the evaluation of bone and soft tissue structures around the knee.

Height, weight, and BMI values were documented at the time of presentation. The correlation between the obtained measurements and BMI was analyzed. The measurements and proportional values with the highest correlation with BMI were identified.
