The use of anti-osteoporosis drugs in total knee arthroplasty

Christian Carulli et al. Aging Clin Exp Res. 2011 Apr.

Abstract

Stress shielding, osteolysis, lack of integration affect the clinical results of total joint arthroplasty. Drugs as bisphosphonates administered after surgery may improve the fixation of the components to the bone, preserving the survival of the implant: however, few reports regarding applications in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) are published.
