Cover Story: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative osteoporosis treatment on stress shielding and clinical outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. A retrospective analysis of 107 cementless THA cases revealed that patients receiving preoperative osteoporosis treatment exhibited significantly lower stress shielding grades (p = 0.001) compared to untreated patients. However, no significant differences in clinical scores were observed at one year postoperatively. These findings highlight the potential of preoperative osteoporosis treatment to reduce stress shielding, suggesting its importance in preventing long-term complications such as bone atrophy-related pain and fractures.
