## Abstract Dual energy x‐ray absorptiometry was used to measure periprosthetic, distal femoral, and proximal tibial bone mass in the affected and contralateral limbs of eight patients 10 years after unilateral total hip arthroplasty with a cementless, porous‐coated titanium alloy femoral stem. Gai
Following total hip arthroplasty (THA), femoral periprosthetic bone undergoes a remodeling process that results in bone loss in its proximal regions that may compromise the long-term outcome of THA. Periprosthetic bone loss mainly occurs during the first postoperative months. The question is whether
## Abstract Clinical and experimental evidence suggest that periprosthetic bone loss following total hip arthroplasty is caused in part by stress‐shielding. Changes in bone stress in the proximal femur following implantation can be estimated with use of composite beam theory. We hypothesized that t
