OBJECTIVE: To assess efficacy and safety of alendronate sodium treatment in osteoporosis patients with hip fracture.

METHODS: One year randomized, double-blind clinical trial was carried out in 77 osteoporosis patients with hip fracture. The bone mineral density (BMD) in lumbar spine (L(2 - 4)), femoral neck (Neck), Wards triangle (Wards) and great trochanter (Troch) was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometer (DEXA).

RESULTS: In our study, alendronate sodium induced marked increases in BMD of the L(2 - 4) (7.0% +/- 13.0%), Neck (7.3% +/- 11.1%), Wards (4.6% +/- 5.9%), Troch (4.5% +/- 3.2%) (mean +/- s) versus decreases of 2.0% +/- 4.5%, -0.9% +/- 6.9%, 3.6% +/- 4.9% and 1.14% +/- 6.0% with placebo (P < 0.05). Blood Ca, P, ALP, BGP and Urine Pyd/C were no significant difference between before and after therapy. There were usually mild and transient side-effect, such as gastrointestinal symptoms.

CONCLUSION: Alendronate is an efficacy and safety drug in treatment of osteoporosis.
