Ibandronate for Prevention of Femoral Head Deformity After Ischemic Necrosis of the Capital Femoral Epiphysis in Immature Pigs

Abstract
Lter the repair process. We hypothesized that preservation of the trabecular framework by inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption would minimize the development of deformity in a piglet model of ischemic necrosis. The effect of ibandronate on long-bone growth was also assessed....
