Study Summary
Determine the severity and time course (natural history) of disuse osteopenia that occurs in the lower extremity(ies) and lumbar spine of patients sustaining lower extremity injuries that require the patient to maintain restricted weight bearing status (12 weeks) following the surgical fixation of the patient's injuries. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a significant decrease in the bone mineral density in the lower limbs of patients undergoing restricted weight bearing for peri-articular injuries of the lower extremity. This loss of bone mineral density is often prolonged in its duration and may lower subsequent fracture threshold and prolong the time to recovery and return to activities.
