In a comparative study among two groups of patients--persons with a medial fracture of the collum femoris and persons with advanced coxarthrosis--the zinc-content of the femur was measured. For this analysis a bone-biopsy was performed when an endoprothesis was implanted. In some of the patients the zinc-levels in the blood were determined on several occasions. If the zinc-content of the blood was low, similarly the zinc-content of the bone was reduced, especially in patients with medial fractures. In patients with severe coxarthrosis the zinc-content is reduced by 50%.
在两组患者——股骨颈内侧骨折患者和晚期髋关节炎患者——之间进行的一项比较研究中，测量了股骨的锌含量。为了进行此项分析，在植入人工关节时进行了骨活检。在一些患者中，多次测定了血液中的锌水平。如果血液中的锌含量较低，同样地，骨骼中的锌含量也会降低，尤其是在股骨颈内侧骨折的患者中。在重度髋关节炎患者中，锌含量降低了50%。
