  7. 5. Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty Effects of Immediate Weight Bearing on Implant Stability, Bone Mineral Density, and Body Composition

    University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis

    Author : Olof Wolf; Uppsala universitet.; [2010]
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoarthritis of the hip; uncemented; total hip arthroplasty; stability; RSA; BMD; DXA; body composition; weight bearing; MEDICINE Surgery Surgical research Orthopaedics; MEDICIN Kirurgi Kirurgisk forskning Ortopedi; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;
