The establishment of a bisphosphonate⁃related osteonecrosis of the jaw rat model
With the wide use of bisphosphonates in bone diseases such as osteoporosis and bone metastases of ma⁃ lignant tumors, bisphosphonate⁃related osteonecrosis of the jaw has gained widely attention as a severe side effect. Ani⁃ mal model is a useful way to

Risk of atypical femoral fracture during and after bisphosphonate use
Background and purpose — Use of bisphosphonates in women is associated with higher risk of atypical femoral fractures. The risk in terms of timing of use and type of bisphosphonate, and in men, remains unclear.

Bisphosphonates are used widely for variety of bone condition, most notably IV bisphosphonates in the treatment of metastic bone lesion and oral bisphosphonates for osteoporosis. They constitute a group of drugs capable of modulating bone turnover and reducing its remodeling when an excessive resorption occurs.

Pharmacology of bisphosphonates [PDF]
The biological effects of the bisphosphonates (BPs) as inhibitors of calcification and bone resorption were first described in the late 1960s. In the 50 years that have elapsed since then, the BPs have become the leading drugs for the treatment of skeletal disorders characterized by increased bone resorption, including Paget's disease of bone, bone ...

Long-term effects of bisphosphonate therapy: perforations, microcracks and mechanical properties
Osteoporosis is characterised by trabecular bone loss resulting from increased osteoclast activation and unbalanced coupling between resorption and formation, which induces a thinning of trabeculae and trabecular perforations.

The risk of bisphosphonate (BP)-associated atypical femur fracture (AFF) has markedly increased over recent decades due to suppression of bone turnover, accumulation of structural micro-damage and reduction of bone remodeling consequent to long-term BP ...

Comparison of osteoporosis pharmacotherapy fracture rates: Analysis of a marketScan® claims database cohort [PDF]
Background: Several different classes of medications have been shown to be efficacious at preventing fractures in patients with osteoporosis. No study has compared real world efficacy at preventing fractures between all currently approved medications ...
