Effects of levonorgestrel-releasing subdermal contraceptive implants on bone density and bone metabolism

A prospective, randomized clinical trial observed the effects of Norplant® long-term contraceptive implants and domestic implants similar to Norplant on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in female acceptors for 1 year. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of lumbar 2–4 an...

Zusammenfassung:	A prospective, randomized clinical trial observed the effects of Norplant® long-term contraceptive implants and domestic implants similar to Norplant on bone mineral density and bone metabolism in female acceptors for 1 year. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of lumbar 2–4 and proximal femur of 61 normal women of child-bearing age were measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) before and 12 months after implants insertion in both groups. BMD and BMC of lumbar 2–4 in both groups 12 months after implant insertion significantly increased (p
