Bone mineral density of the femoral neck in resurfacing hip arthroplasty: Precision of DXA biased by region of interest and rotation of the hip

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Resurfacing total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) may preserve the femoral neck bone stock postoperatively. Bone mineral density (BMD) may be affected by the hip position, which might bias longitudinal studies. We investigated the dependency of BMD precision on type of ROI and hip po...
