Increased migration of uncemented acetabular cups in female total hip arthroplasty patients with low systemic bone mineral density: A 2-year RSA and 8-year radiographic follow-up study of 34 patients

Background and purpose — Low bone mineral density (BMD) may jeopardize the initial component stability and delay osseointegration of uncemented acetabular cups in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
