Abstract
Alendronate is one of a few pharmaceutical agents that have evidence to protect both vertebral and non-vertebral fracture. Here I review its effects on fracture prevention, as well as on surrogate markers such as bone mineral density, height loss, metabolic bone markers. Its effects on activities of daily living and quality of life will also be touched upon.
