And in control group, 61 patients diagnosed osteoporosis with drug treatment within the same period in orthopedic department from July 2006 to July 2007. The average age is 73.8 (+/-6.7) year in experimental group, and 66.6 (+/-7.46) year in control group. Both groups had at least a year follow-up with drug treatment and had BMD again at least a year later. RESULTS: BMD test in experimental group showed -3.05 (+/-1.35) preoperatively and -2.74 (+/-1.50) in last follow-up. BMD test in control group showed -3.55 (+/-0.52) in initial administration and -3.10 (+/-0.87) in last follow-up.
