Study Overview
Brief Summary
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 26 months.
Detailed Description
It has previously been reported that total knee arthroplasty (TKA) causes major femur bone loss (~18% within 1 year). Prior studies did not examine different surgical methods, such as the use of cement or robotics, in TKA. The investigators hypothesize that previously reported differences in distal femur BMD change following TKA exist between patients receiving cemented vs. cementless prostheses.
Specific Aim 1: In the entire study cohort, our primary endpoint is to estimate percent BMD change 12 and 24 months after TKA at the distal femur 25% region of interest (ROI).
Specific Aim 1a: To compare percent BMD change 12 and 24 months after TKA at the distal femur 25% ROI in cemented vs uncemented implants.
Specific Aim 1b: To compare percent BMD change 12 and 24 months after TKA at the distal femur 25% ROI in those receiving robotic vs manual implants.
Specific Aim 2: In the entire study cohort, our secondary endpoints are to estimate percent BMD change 12 and 24 months after TKA at a.) the distal femur 15% ROI and b.) a proximal tibial ROI Specific Aim 2a: To compare percent BMD change 12 and 24 months after TKA at the distal femur 15% ROI and proximal tibial ROI in cemented vs uncemented implants.

- •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.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Known clinical osteoporosis defined as any one of the following:
- •Hip or spine T-score less than or equal to -2.5
