Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity slows femoral bone loss but promotes wrist fractures in postmenopausal women: a 15-year follow-up of the OSTPRE study
Toni Rikkonen,Kari Salovaara,Joonas Sirola,Matti Kärkkäinen,Marjo Tuppurainen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Risto Honkanen,Esko Alhava,Heikki Kröger +8 more
TL;DR: Regular PA of at least 1½ hours per week does not seem to increase the risk of other fractures and might significantly decrease proximal femur bone loss among peri‐ and postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Alendronate on Periprosthetic Bone Loss After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A One-Year, Randomized, Controlled Trial of 19 Patients
Tarja A. Soininvaara,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Hannu Miettinen,Olavi T. Suomalainen,Esko Alhava,P.J. Kröger +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that oral alendronate reduces early postoperative periprosthetic bone loss significantly, and this therapeutic strategy may improve the results and longevity of primary total knee arthroplasties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting bone loss around menopause in women without HRT: a prospective study
Joonas Sirola,Heikki Kröger,Risto Honkanen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Lorenzo Sandini,Marjo Tuppurainen,Seppo Saarikoski +6 more
TL;DR: The beginning of menopause is accompanied by significant bone loss, which decreases in later menopausal women, and few other physiological and life-style factors were found to significantly contribute to this phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compressive and tensile properties of articular cartilage in axial loading are modulated differently by osmotic environment.
TL;DR: The fibril-reinforced poroelastic model with stiff, nonlinear collagen fibrils predicted the experimentally measured compression-tension nonlinearity of cartilage and proteoglycan (PG) and collagen contents are primary determinants of the compressive and tensile properties of Cartilage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periprosthetic femoral bone loss after total knee arthroplasty: 1-year follow-up study of 69 patients
Tarja A. Soininvaara,Hannu Miettinen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Olavi T. Suomalainen,Esko Alhava,Heikki Kröger +5 more
TL;DR: Bone loss was most rapid during the first 3 months after TKA, and it is suggested that the observed periprosthetic bone loss was mainly the result of prosthesis-related stress-shielding.
