Female patients with low systemic BMD are prone to bone loss in Gruen zone 7 after cementless total hip arthroplasty: A 2-year DXA follow-up of 39 patients
Background and purpose Factors that lead to periprosthetic bone loss following total hip arthroplasty (THA) may not only depend on biomechanical implant-related factors, but also on various patient-related factors. We investigated the association between early changes in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and patient-related factors
