摘要
Patients and methods We included 23 hips in 23 patients who were operated with an uncemented total hip prosthesis (THP). Each Gruen region was measured with DXA at 1, 5, and 14 days, and 3 and 12 months after the operation. 16 of the patients completed all 5 follow-ups.
Results There was no detectable change in BMD in the first 14 days after the operation. In all zones, the lowest BMD was measured after 3 months.
Interpretation We conclude that DXA measurements done within 14 days after the operation can be used as reference measurements for later follow-up studies.
