Prevalence and impact of preoperative osteoporosis on healthcare utilization and patient-reported outcomes in primary total knee arthroplasty
Two-thirds of primary TKA recipients had osteoporosis. Among these patients, two-thirds were on medication and one-third had a DEXA scan. Osteoporotic patients are at a higher risk of 90-day hospital readmission, longer hospital stays and non-home discharge. Interestingly, osteoporosis status was not associated with failure to achieve clinically significant improvements or satisfaction at 1 year following TKA.
