Pressfit resurfacing hip arthroplasty was found to better
preserve periacetabular bone mineral density (BMD) than
conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) in this randomized

“We focused on periprosthetic BMD changes in the acetabulum
after a bone-preserving RHA (resurfacing hip arthroplasty)
and the potential pitfall of gradual bone
