title: Cementless total hip replacement does not change bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, DEXA measurements in 50 patients.
abstract: We measured the lumbar spine mineral density with the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry method, 8 days, 3 and 6 months after total hip replacement in 50 patients and found no statistical differences over time.
