Inaccurate summary

The lead summary is focused on weight loss, but the rest of the page primarily focuses on understanding the biomechanics so that one can understand why there are differences in knee health in populations that are obese vs non-obese. Also, the claims about weight and energy balance are not being given appropriate context: studies in this domain suggest potential weight losses in the range of 5 kg, which is typically insufficient to change an "obese" or "severely obese" BMI to non-obese.
