Tóm tắt

Abstract To assess the perioperative bone loss of femur during total hip arthroplasty (THA), periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) of the seven regions of interests (Gruen zones) was determined with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) preoperatively in both proximal femurs and postoperatively in the involved side in 53 patients with degenerative hip osteoarthrosis. The mean (standard deviation, SD) precision error (coefficient of variation percent, CV%) in various regions of interest (ROIs) based on two consecutive measurements (n = 16) were 2.3 (0.8)%, 2.5 (1.5)%, and 2.8 (1.6)% for uncemented stems, cemented stems, and control sides, respectively. Furthermore, the mean variability caused by the rotation of femur was 3.5 (1.4)%. The most significant perioperative bone loss (13.5-19.2%) was found in the calcar area (zone 7) after noncemented THA. Zone 4, representing the bone below the prosthesis, also showed BMD decreases. These decreases suggest perioperative bone loss owing to rasping and reaming the calcar and bone canal. However, after cemented THA, highly significant BMD increases were found in all the lateral zones. The calcar area was the only site where significant perioperative bone loss was detected (12.8%). In conclusion, DXA is a precise method for quantifying bone mass and density changes in the follow-up of THA. However, when interpreting the results, the preoperative BMD, differences between the femurs and the effect of operation on bone mass should be taken into account. We suggest that the best reference for BMD follow-up is the periprosthetic BMD of the involved side measured soon after the THA.
