Effect of alendronate on periprosthetic bone loss after total knee arthroplasty: a one-year, randomized, controlled trial of 19 patientsT A Soininvaara
Department of Surgery, Savonlinna Central Hospital, Savonlinna, Finland
Calcif Tissue Int 71:472-7. 2002..024, respectively). Our results indicate that oral alendronate reduces early postoperative periprosthetic bone loss significantly. This therapeutic strategy may improve the results and longevity of primary total knee arthroplasties...
Periprosthetic femoral bone loss after total knee arthroplasty: 1-year follow-up study of 69 patientsTarja A Soininvaara
Department of Surgery, Savonlinna Central Hospital, Finland
Knee 11:297-302. 2004..019) correlated with BMD loss for the total metaphyseal region of interest (ROI), by repeated measures ANOVA. We suggest that the observed periprosthetic bone loss was mainly the result of prosthesis-related stress-shielding...
Periprosthetic tibial bone mineral density changes after total knee arthroplasty: one-year follow-up study of 69 patientsTarja A Soininvaara
Department of Surgery, Savonlinna Central Hospital, Finland
Acta Orthop Scand 75:600-5. 2004..The critical structure supporting the prosthetic components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is tibial trabecular bone. The quality of tibial bone can be evaluated by bone mineral density (BMD) measurements...
Bone mineral density in the proximal femur and contralateral knee after total knee arthroplastyTarja A Soininvaara
Department of Surgery, Savonlinna Central Hospital, Savonlinna, Finland
J Clin Densitom 7:424-31. 2004..We conclude that improved mobility after TKA does not improve the effects of preoperative disuse-associated bone loss in the short term...
Bone mineral density and single photon emission computed tomography changes after total knee arthroplasty: a 2-year follow-up studyTarja Soininvaara
Department of Surgery, Savonlinna Central Hospital, Finland
Clin Physiol Funct Imaging 28:101-6. 2008..Increased SPECT uptake during the first 2 years after uncomplicated TKA results most likely from normal postoperative bone remodelling. Levelling of SPECT uptake may indicate a new balance between bone loss and regain...
