It is accepted that resurfacing hip replacement
preserves the bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur better than total
hip replacement (THR). However, no studies have investigated any
possible difference on the acetabular side. Between April 2007 and March 2009, 39 patients were randomised
into two groups to receive either a resurfacing or a THR and were
followed for two years. One patient’s resurfacing subsequently failed,
leaving 19 patients in each group. Resurfaced replacements maintained proximal femoral BMD and,
compared with THR, had an increased bone mineral density in Gruen
zones 2, 3, 6, and particularly zone 7, with a gain of 7.5% (95%
confidence interval (CI) 2.6 to 12.5) compared with a loss of 14.6%
(95% CI 7.6 to 21.6). Resurfacing replacements maintained the BMD
