BMD was determined 3 days (range 2–7) postoperatively and at 12- and 24-month follow-up. All scans were performed using a GE Lunar Prodigy Advance 2005 DXA scanner. The observers used enCORE version 11.40.004 “knee” software. This knee software is investigational and has not yet been approved by the FDA. This software has already been shown to be an effective tool in research on periprosthetic bone loss, and the scan method for this study was equivalent (Tjornild et al. 2011 (link)).

Dual x-ray absorptiometry scans were performed using a GE Lunar Prodigy Advance 2005 DXA scanner, using Encore 11.40.004 software. Protocols involved whole body scans and dedicated scan protocols of the hip and lumbar spine as per accepted clinical positioning standards (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007 ). BMD measurements were reported in areal density (g/cm2) to allow comparison within the cohort of participants, as opposed to population based T-scores. From the whole body scans, measurements of areal density from the whole body, both legs combined, and the measured lower leg were taken. Whole body and lower leg composition was calculated, including percentage bone, lean tissue, and fat body mass.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
