This is a pilot study to provide preliminary data of the association between bone mineral denity adjacent to acetabular implants, as measured by quanitative computed tomography (QCT), at least 2 years post Total Hip Arthoplasty (THA) surgery with Mesechymal stem cell assays, obtained at time of surgery, and to begin to evaluate if stem cells can predict orthopaedic surgical outcomes.
