Negative effect of zoledronic acid on tendon-to-bone healing: In vivo study of biomechanics and bone remodeling in a rat model

Background and purpose — Outcome after ligament reconstruction or tendon repair depends on secure tendon-to-bone healing. Increased osteoclastic activity resulting in local bone loss may contribute to delayed healing of the tendon–bone interface. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effec...
