Reduced mortality and subsequent fracture risk associated with oral bisphosphonate recommendation in a fracture liaison service setting: A prospective cohort study [PDF]
Objective: Osteoporotic fragility fractures, that are common in men and women, signal increased risk of future fractures and of premature mortality. Less than one-third of postmenopausal women and fewer men are prescribed active treatments to reduce ...

Topical zoledronic acid decreases micromotion induced bone resorption in a sheep arthroplasty model
Background Initial micromotion of a total hip replacement is associated with aseptic loosening. The use of bisphosphonates could be one way to reduce peri-implant bone resorption induced by micromotion.

Bisphosphonates and Cancer [PDF]
Bisphosphonates form a family of drugs characterized pharmacologically by their ability to inhibit bone resorption and pharma‐cokinetically by similar intestinal absorption, skeletal distribution, and renal elimination. Two groups of bisphosphonates exist chemically, non‐amino‐bisphosphates and amino‐bisphosphonates.
