    Abstract

    In a cohort study of users of bisphosphonates, we evaluated the incidence of fragility fractures at all sites on the femur following for up to 8 years of therapy with alendronate or risedronate. We did not find evidence for a reversal of fracture protection with long-term use of bisphosphonates.
