Funded Activity Summary

Osteoporosis treatments prevent fractures by hindering cells that erode the skeleton. Normally, those cells also repair injuries like stress fractures. Some patients, treated for long periods, can suffer fractures because the treatment slows bone healing. We have an innovative model to test alternative treatments to accelerate stress fracture healing, while osteoporosis treatment continues. This could prevent unusual stress fractures, in patients who still need the bone-sparing effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment.
