The Reverse Dorr: Preoperative radiographic evaluation of bone quality correlates to bone mineral density in total knee arthroplasty
This radiographic assessment demonstrates that cortical thickness of the knee is correlated with bone mineral density-most notably on the lateral radiograph. Utilization of the "Reverse Dorr" model was strongly predictive of osteopenia and may help guide implant selection.
