Effect of once-yearly zoledronic acid on the spine and hip as measured by quantitative computed tomography : results of the HORIZON Pivotal Fracture Trial.
Changes in bone mineral density and bone strength following treatment with zoledronic acid (ZOL) were measured by quantitative computed analysis (QCT) or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). ZOL treatment increased spine and hip BMD vs placebo, assessed by QCT and DXA. Changes in trabecular bone resulted in increased bone strength.
