Effect of total knee replacement on skeletal muscle mass measurements using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry

Abstract Sarcopenia is becoming prevalent in an increasing number of older adults undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Metal implants may overestimate lean mass (LM) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This study aimed to examine the effects of TKR on LM measurements a...
