Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) Comparison Hip Resurfacing Versus Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis, Hip
Interventions
Device: Hip Resurfacing
Device: Total Hip Arthroplasty
Registration Number
NCT01359527
Lead Sponsor
Spokane Joint Replacement Center
Brief Summary

This study compares the change (loss) of bone mineral density (BMD) that occurs in the proximal femur after hip resurfacing and total hip replacement.

Detailed Description

This study compares the change (loss) of bone mineral density (BMD) that occurs in the proximal femur after hip resurfacing and total hip replacement. The goal is to evaluate the bone loss in the proximal femur resulting from hip resurfacing surgery and to compare this to the bone loss in the proximal femur resulting from total hip arthroplasty.
