In this study, the effect of teriparatide for the prevention of bone mineral density (BMD) loss
after THA was compared with alendronate in a randomized controlled trial. Forty-eight …

Long-term loosening is the major cause of failure of arthroplasty. One of the major causes is
stress shielding, initiated by the large stiffness difference between prosthesis and bone …

Short-stem hip implants are increasingly common since they preserve host bone stock and
presumably reduce stress shielding by improving load distribution in the proximal femur …

Background Patients who have lytic bone lesions in their proximal femurs are at risk for
pathological fracture. Lesions with high fracture risk are surgically treated using prophylactic …

Introduction This study aimed to compare the impact of different broach surface designs on
post-operative clinical outcomes, bone reactions and changes in bone mineral density …

Objectives In total hip arthroplasty (THA), the cementless, tapered-wedge stem design
contributes to achieving initial stability and providing optimal load transfer in the proximal …

Background The uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become the choice for many
hip surgeons. Although conventional uncemented femoral components have a proven track …

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 …

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by the deficiency
of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, which leads to motor neuron dysfunction and …

Background The severity of bone mineral density (BMD) loss after total hip arthroplasty
(THA) depends on both implant-and patient-related factors. While implant fixation type is an …
