Abstract
Diphosphonates are capable to increase vertebral bone mineral mass in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Because the risk of fractures is related to the reduction of bone mass, the positive effect of diphosphonates most probably produced a decrease in fracture rate. At present these drugs represent a rational option for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
