Tatu J. Makinena, et al. - Conclusion: Against a general belief, OA does not seem to protect a patient from generalized primary OP. The majority (74%) of the female hip OA patients were osteopenic or osteoporotic with signs of increased bone turnover. The observed prevalence of reduced BMD corresponds with the published data of age-matched population. An unexpectedly high number of patients required preoperative consultation with an endocrinologist
