2 Year Estrogen Therapy
• Bone quality is an integral component of bone
strength• Maintaining or restoring bone architecture is
required for optimal bone quality• An imbalance in bone turnover rate affects the
degree of mineralization of bone • Optimal collagen/mineral matrix properties
contribute to bone quality
Bone Quality
Possible Contributing Factors to the Fracture Efficacy of Antiresorptives
• Increased bone mineral density• Decreased bone turnover• Improved bone quality
• Decrease remodeling sites• Maintain trabecular thickness and
connectivity• Decrease number of trabecular
perforations• Decrease microfractures• Improve matrix properties
• Biochemical markers and bone turnover significantly reduced to premenopausal range
• Normal bone turnover allows adequate repair of microdamage
• No adverse effect on bone architecture (iliac crest histomorphometry)
Bone Quality -Raloxifene
Weinstein RS, et al. J Bone Miner Res. 14:S279; 1999Prestwood KM, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 85:2197-2202; 2000Ott SM, et al. J Bone Miner Res. 17:341-348; 2002
Bone Quality -Raloxifene
• Histomorphometry• No woven bone
• No marrow fibrosis
• No mineralization defect
• No cellular toxicity (light microscopy)
• Normal histologic appearance
Bone Quality -Raloxifene
• No adverse effects on bone histology• Changes in BMD explain only a small proportion of
vertebral fracture risk reduction• Reduces bone turnover to the normal premenopausal
range allowing• Adequate repair of microdamage• A moderate increase in mineralization and
preservation of heterogeneous mineral distribution• Long-term efficacy with sustained fracture reduction
in the fourth year of treatment
• Architecture • Increase trabecular thickness and connectivity• Increases cortical thickness and improves cortical geometry
• Turnover • Increases formation on quiescent (neutral) surface
• Increase in formation is greater than resorption (positive bone balance)
• Damage Accumulation• Forms new bone• Increased bone turnover reduces damage accumulation

Bone Turnover
Excessive turnover• Increase in stress risers (weak zones)• Increase in perforations• Loss of connectivity
Insufficient turnover• Accumulation of microdamage• Increased brittleness due to
excessive mineralization

Study Protocol
Cao Y et al. J Bone Miner Res 17:2237-46; 2002
• Female OVX rats (n=140)
• Five study groups
• Sham control• OVX placebo control• OVX + estrogen• OVX + raloxifene• OVX + alendronate
• Objective: To evaluate the effect of antiresorptives on fracture healing.

• 6 Weeks• Callus formation• Fracture visible
• 16 Weeks• OVX Fracture line
dissapeared • ALN fracture line still
visible• Callus width largest in
ALN group• Fracture repair was
delayed with ALN treatment
