Abstract:
8 femoral heads removed in 4 patients operated on by bilateral total hip replacement for osteoarthritis were evaluated. 3 patients were treated with Calcitonin between the first and the second operation. X-ray powder diffractometry analysis showed an improvement of bone crystallinity in the Calcitonin treated patients.
