Bone Histomorphometry, Microarchitecture and Matrix Structure and Properties in Patients Receiving Long-term Risedronate Treatment - IMPACT Biopsy Registry

Conditions
The objective of this study is to collect data on bone histomorphometry, architecture, turnover and material properties from iliac crest biopsies taken from postmenopausal women after > 5 year risedronate treatment.These data will be used as additional data for the primary and secondary objectives from Studies 2003073 and 2003096 for which the recruitment of 28 subjects who had > 5 year risedronate treatment has not been achieved.
