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.

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.
