Clinical Trial Summary

Femoral neck fracture in the elderly is one indication for initiating osteoporosis treatment. Bisphosphonates remain the first line therapy; however, many orthopaedic surgeons concern regarding their effects on fracture healing process. Therefore, therapy is usually delayed for a period of time. To the best of our knowledge, there is no scientific data to support whether bisphosphonate treatment should be given immediately after the surgery or it should be delayed.


Clinical Trial Description

Femoral neck fracture in the elderly is one indication for initiating osteoporosis treatment. Bisphosphonates remain the first line therapy; however, many orthopaedic surgeons concern regarding their effects on fracture healing process. Therefore, therapy is usually delayed for a period of time. To the best of our knowledge, there is no scientific data to support whether bisphosphonate treatment should be given immediately after the surgery or it should be delayed.

This study aims to compare functional recovery between early- and late administration of bisphosphonate in patients who received hemiarthroplasty following femoral neck fractures. ;
