Study on Bone Mineral Density Around the Knee in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis
Postmenopausal women with KOA combined with OP have markedly lower periarticular BMD, associated with more severe pain, distinctive radiographic changes, and poorer alignment. These findings highlight the need for active bone preservation and OP management in KOA patients to alleviate symptoms and potentially slow disease progression.
