How do bisphosphonates affect fracture healing?
Bisphosphonates (BPs) have been in use for many years for the treatment of osteoporosis, multiple myeloma, Paget's disease, as well as a variety of other diseases in which there is reduced bone mineral density. Given that bisphosphonates inhibit bone resorption, an important stage of fracture healing; this class of compounds has been widely studied in preclinical models regarding their influenc...
متن کاملEconomic Analysis of Bisphosphonate Use after Distal Radius Fracture for Prevention of Hip Fracture
Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition among the elderly population, and is associated with an increased risk of fracture. One of the most common fragility fractures involve the distal radius, and are associated with risk of subsequent fragility fracture. Early treatment with bisphosphonates has been suggested to decrease the population hip fracture burden. However, there have been no p...
متن کاملBone graft substitutes and bone morphogenetic proteins for osteoporotic fractures: what is the evidence?
Despite improvements in implants and surgical techniques, osteoporotic fractures remain challenging to treat. Among other major risk factors, decreased expression of morphogenetic proteins has been identified for impaired fracture healing in osteoporosis. Bone grafts or bone graft substitutes are often used for stabilizing the implant and for providing a scaffold for ingrowth of new bone. Both ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Non-Traumatic Stress Fractures in Bilateral Femoral Shafts in a Patient Treated with Bisphosphonates
Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of bone resorption and widely used to treat osteoporosis. Extensive studies have shown that therapy with bisphosphonates improves bone density and decreases fracture risk. However, concerns have been raised about potential over-suppression of bone turnover during long-term use of bisphosphonates, resulting in increased susceptibility to and delayed healing ...
متن کاملPth and Alendronate Improve Osteotomy Healing in an Osteoporotic Rat Model
Introduction Osteoporosis is a major health problem in older populations, and is directly related to the increased rate of fractures in the elderly. Additionally, both aging and osteoporosis are know to be frequently associated with decreased quality of fracture repair. A number of drugs have been developed for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The most commonly prescribed class of ...
