No effect of risedronate on femoral periprosthetic bone loss following total hip arthroplasty
Acta Orthop. 2015 Oct;86(5):569-7474 patients scheduled for uncemented total hip arthroplasty were randomized to postoperative administration of either risedronate or placebo for 6 months. The purpose of this study was to compare changes in periprosthetic bone mineral density between groups at 4 year follow-up. Additionally, component migration, the incidence of heterotopic ossification, and clinical outcomes were assessed during follow-up. Results demonstrated no significant difference in periprosthetic BMD changes between groups after 4 years.
