Daily activity and initial bone mineral density are associated with periprosthetic bone mineral density after total hip arthroplasty

摘要

Objectives: To evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes around a cementless short tapered-wedge stem and determine correlations between BMD changes and various clinical factors, including daily activity, after total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a tapered-wedge stem.
