Long-term administration of clodronate does not prevent fracture healing in rats.
A. Koivukangas,Juha Tuukkanen,K. Kippo,Timo Jämsä,Ritva Hannuniemi,I. Pasanen,Kalervo Väänänen,Pekka Jalovaara +7 more
TL;DR: The current results suggest that long-term clodronate treatment does not inhibit fracture healing and increases the size of the callus, but has only a minor effect on its biomechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Radiographic and pQCT Analyses of Healing Rat Tibial Fractures
TL;DR: Callus size, BMC, and BMD were associated with the compressive failure load, whereas both radiographs and pQCT were poor in explaining the failure load in tension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clodronate Prevents Osteopenia and Loss of Trabecular Connectivity in Estrogen-Deficient Rats†
K. Kippo,Ritva Hannuniemi,Päivi Isaksson,Leena Laurén,Thua Österman,Z. Peng,Juha Tuukkanen,Pirjo Kuurtamo,H. Kalervo Väänänen,Sellman Raija +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that orally administered clodronate suppresses the enhanced bone turnover in adult OVX rats and preserves trabecular bone volume and connectivity in the femoral neck.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bisphosphonates clodronate and etidronate in the prevention of ovariectomy-induced osteopenia in growing rats†
Vesa T. Lepola,K. Kippo,Ritva Hannuniemi,Leena Laurén,Teija Virtamo,Thua Österman,Pekka Jalovaara,Sellman Raija,H. Kalervo Väänänen +8 more
TL;DR: Clodronate and etidronate were effective in preventing the estrogen deficiency‐induced decreases in trabecular bone volume and bone strength in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of long-term administration of clodronate on growing rat bone.
TL;DR: It is concluded that long-term administration of clodronate has no harmful but rather some beneficial effects on bone at the therapeutical dosage, however, a fivefold dose of cldronate causes a slight decrease in the growth of tibial length.
