Correlation of periprosthetic bone mineral density and skeletal bone mineral density values in patients with total hip arthroplasty
Journal Title: Palestrica Mileniului III - Civilizatie si Sport - Year 2014, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
[b]Background. [/b]The presence of periprosthetic osteoporosis influences the postoperative evolution of hip replacement patients, delays the functional rehabilitation process and considerably decreases the quality of life of these patients. [b]Aims. [/b]The aim of the study is to demonstrate the role of periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) and to correlate its values with skeletal (BMD) values. [b]Methods. [/b]The study was carried out at the Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital Cluj-Napoca in the period June-December 2009, on 58 patients aged between 30-83 years with uni- and bilateral cemented and uncemented total hip endoprostheses. For the determination of the bone mineral density, the dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method was used, with the software for orthopedic prostheses available. [b]Results.[/b] Statistical data analysis demonstrated a direct correlation between periprosthetic (BMD) and skeletal bone mineral density values, without 100% overlapping, which requires the presence of reference values for periprosthetic areas. [b]Conclusions.[/b] Although it follows the tendency of skeletal (BMD), periprosthetic bone mineral density requires T scores specific for the periprosthetic Gruen zones.
