Femoral Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Change Following Cemented or Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty
The purpose of this study is to examine femur bone mineral density (BMD) change before and after surgery in patients receiving cemented or cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA). performed with manual or robotic methods. 100 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for up to 14 months.
• Patients age greater than or equal to 55 years undergoing TKA with no prior total joint arthroplasty on the surgical side
• Normal BMD or osteopenia with Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) not meeting Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) treatment recommendations, i.e., 10-year major osteoporotic fracture risk greater then or equal to 20 percent or hip fracture risk greater than or equal to 3 percent.
