Bone union after spinal fusion surgery using local bone in long-term bisphosphonate users: a prospective comparative study
2019
Summary
Bisphosphonates are the most commonly used drugs for osteoporosis and long-term use of bisphosphonates may affect fusion rate after spinal fusion surgery. There was significant delayed union after 6 months in long-term bisphosphonates users; however, there were no significant difference in fusion rate of long-term bisphosphonate users. Therefore, spinal fusion surgery should not be hesitated in long-term bisphosphonates users.
