RELATIONSHIPS OF LONG-TERM BISPHOSPHONATE TREATMENT WITH MEASURES OF BONE MICROARCHITECTURE AND MECHANICAL COMPETENCE

RELATIONSHIPS OF LONG-TERM BISPHOSPHONATE TREATMENT WITH MEASURES OF BONE MICROARCHITECTURE AND MECHANICAL COMPETENCE

Oral bisphosphonate drug therapy is a common and effective treatment for osteoporosis. Little is known about the long-term effects of bisphosphonates on bone quality. This study examined the structural and mechanical properties of trabecular bone following 0-16 years of bisphosphonate treatment. Fif...
