Abstract Background: Previous study has shown that a short-term use of zoledronic acid (ZA) after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) significantly increases bone mineral density (BMD) over the proximal femur and inhibits bone turnover markers (BTMs) after two years. However, could the discontinuation of ZA have a lasting effect is of interest.Method: This is an extension study of a two-year prospective randomized controlled trial on 54 cementless THA treated with either two doses of ZA or placebo. We compared BTMs [alkaline phosphatase (ALP); osteocalcin (OC); procollagen 1 intact N-terminal propeptide (P1NP)], serum calcium, renal function, radiological findings, and functional outcomes (Harris hip score and UCLA activity score) from baseline to 5 years post-THA in 49 patients, and periprosthetic BMD of the seven Gruen zones in 19 patients.Result: All patients had well-functioning hip prostheses, normal renal function, and normal serum calcium levels at 5-year follow-up. At the fifth year, the BMD levels were not statistically different between the two groups, but the change in BMD from baseline (BMD change ratios) in ZA group were significantly increased in zone 2, 4, and 6 as compared with control group. Parallel to that, in ZA group, levels of ALP were significantly lower at the fifth year; OC were significantly lower at the second and the fifth year; P1NP were significantly lower from 6 weeks to 2 years as compared with those in control group.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the lasting effect of a two-dose ZA given within one year after THA on bone metabolism and periprosthetic BMD at five years. The short-term dosing of ZA followed by a 4-year drug holiday had no adverse events and resulted in significant inhibition of periprosthetic bone loss and BTMs.Trial Registration:This extension study on a randomized, open label, single-center clinical trial was conducted under Institutional Review Board of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Protocol Records 98-1150A3; 105-1296C1; 105-7004D, and was registered July 19th, 2016 on public registry ClinicalTrials.gov trial registration number NCT02838121.

Abstract Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur around the stem decreases due to stress shielding after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). When severe stress shielding occurs, the risk of periprosthetic femoral fractures increases, and this bone loss can also increase the difficulty of future revision THA. Denosumab is known to improve the quality and strength of cortical bone in the proximal femurs of patients with osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether denosumab prevents loss of proximal femoral periprosthetic BMD in cementless THA using a tapered wedge stem in patients with osteoporosis.Methods: Sixty-three consecutive patients who had undergone unilateral primary THA using a tapered wedge stem were included in this retrospective study. Twenty-four patients who received denosumab for osteoporosis were the denosumab group, and the 39 without denosumab were the control group. At 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after THA, bone turnover markers and femoral periprosthetic BMD were measured.Results: BMD in zone 1 was significantly increased from baseline at both 6 and 12 months after THA in the denosumab group and significantly decreased in the control group. BMD in zone 7 was significantly decreased compared to baseline at both 6 and 12 months after THA in the control group, but not in the denosumab group. The use of denosumab for THA patients with osteoporosis was independently related to preventing loss of periprosthetic BMD of the femur at 12 months after surgery in zones 1 and 7 on multivariate analysis.Conclusions: Denosumab significantly increased proximal femoral periprosthetic BMD in zone 1 and prevented loss of BMD in zone 7 in patients with osteoporosis after cementless THA using a tapered wedge stem at both 6 and 12 months after surgery.
