Effects of strontium ranelate and alendronate on bone microstructure in women with osteoporosis. Results of a 2-year study.

Summary Strontium ranelate appears to influence more than alendronate distal tibia bone microstructure as assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), and biomechanically relevant parameters as assessed by micro-finite element analysis (μFEA), over 2 years, in postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
