total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unknown. We compared the equivalent stress and strain
energy density (SED) to BMD in the femur after THA using subject-specific finite element
analyses. Twenty-four patients who had undergone primary cementless THA were analysed.
BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at 1 week and 3, 6 and
12 months after THA. Seven regions of interest (ROIs) were defined in accordance with …
