Abstract

Objective- A  comparative study  BMD in two group of patients at tertiary care hospital of Uttarakhand.

Method- This study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics and Obstetrics & Gynaecology   department of Government Medical College Haldwani, Uttarakhand, over a period of  one year from 1st January 2015  to 31st December 2015. It was a hospital based cross sectional study which was conducted to assess the BMD in two group of patients. In group A, 30 patients were  of those  patient in whom uterus  was intact  and  In group B, 30  patients were hysterectomised  for some benign lesion of uterus.

Observation-- Pt in the group of intact uterus were mainly in the 45-47 yrs [83.33%]. where 40% of the pt had normal T score . 56% had osteopenia, and only 4% had osteoporosis. But in the group of pts those they had hysterectomy 16 pts [53.33%] were from 48-50yrs. out of 16 pts 8 [50%] had osteopenia and 3  [18.75%] had osteopor osis. 5 [31.5%] had normal T score.  In the group of intact uterus 53.33% from hill area and 46.67% from plain area. In the group of hysterctomised pts uterus 40 from hill area and 60% from plain area.
