Opportunistic Osteoporosis Screening Reveals Low Bone Density in Patients With Screw Loosening After Lumbar Semi-Rigid Instrumentation: A Case-Control Study

OBJECTIVE: Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) impairs screw purchase in trabecular bone and can cause screw loosening following spinal instrumentation. Existing computed tomography (CT) scans could be used for opportunistic osteoporosis screening for decreased BMD. Purpose of this case-control stu...
