N2 - Knee arthroplasty provides not only pain relief but also an improvement in function and range of movement. Limited joint mobility is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. We therefore examined functional outcome post total knee arthroplasty in a cohort of subjects with (n=367) and a cohort matched for age, sex, BMI and functional movement at baseline, without diabetes mellitus (n=367). Participants were examined at baseline (pre-operatively), 1, 5 and 10 years post TKA. There was no significant difference in fixed flexion, maximal flexion or total range of movement between the two groups at baseline. By 1 year the group with diabetes had a significantly lower maximal flexion (p
