Abstract
A method of treating a patient in need of an orthopedic implant is described. The method includes obtaining the T-score or bone density of the patient's native bone at a site of implantation, said T-score or bone density being determined by a DEXA scan or other means of determining a T-score or bone density. The method further includes selecting an orthopedic implant that has about the same density as the native bone at the site of implantation, and implanting the orthopedic implant at the site of implantation.
