Description: Conclusions
After an early drop, the BMD of the upper femur was restored and even exceeded the preoperative level at one year follow-up. From a clinical standpoint, the changes in BMD in these Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty (HRA) patients could not be explained by stem-neck angle or patient related factors.
