Preoperative factors predicting the severity of BMD loss around the implant after Total hip Arthroplasty

Abstract Background Stress shielding after total hip arthroplasty (THA) leads to loss of bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral implants, particularly in the proximal area. Loss of BMD around the implant is likely to occur within 1 year after THA; however, its severity depends on patient char...
