Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) complications associated with low bone quality are challenging for orthopaedic surgeons to treat, but little is known about bone quality in Chinese postmenopausal women awaiting TKA. This study investigated the incidence of osteoporosis (OP) and explored the preoperative risk factors for OP in this population.
