Synopsis
82 patients, under the age of 65, who required primary total hip replacement due for osteoarthritis were randomized into one of two groups: resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA), or a metal-on-metal THA to compare the effects of these treatments on bone mineral density. The results showed that the resurfacing arthroplasty group had significantly higher mean BMD scores at 12 months, and 24 months afte...
