Popis: The hundreds thousands total hip arthroplasties (THA) annually performed around the world with the number of revision procedures estimated around 10%. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) allows to control projectional bone mineral density (BMD) around hip stem dynamically with minor radiation exposure and in a cost-effective way. In routine practice there is a monthly interval between investigations that does not allow to evaluate activity and trends in short weekly oscillations of bone metabolism in peri-prothetic areas. Projectional BMD oscillations in peri-prosthetic zone after total hip arthroplasty in chrono-biological manner evalua ted for the first time. Therefore chronobiologic approach opens new opportunities for prognosis of tendencies in structural and functional skeleton reorganization in peri-prothetic zone after THA but there is need in further research that could give more insight.
