Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of this study is the correlation between the intraoperatively assessed bone quality assigned by the surgeon and the values obtained from a perioperatively performed DEXA scan as well as microindentation measurements in patients undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In addition, analogous to the study by Bernatz JT et al. (4), it should be evaluated to what extent osteoporosis is underdiagnosed and undertreated in patients undergoing primary knee and hip arthroplasty. | — |
