Can Bisphosphonates Prevent Recurrent Fragility Fractures? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Although a few trials have explored whether bisphosphonates (BPs) prevented recurrent fragility fractures (FFs), little is known about the secondary preventative effects of BPs.

We compared BP and control groups.
