Abstract: Bisphosphonate,as a first line medicine for treating osteoporosis,has been efficacious in reducing the incidences of fractures and some tumors.Although severe side effects such as osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and atypical fracture of femur would take place,its very low incidence does not affect the current status of bisphosphonates in the treatment of osteoporosis.
