- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teriparatide or zoledronic acid affects the bone of postmenopausal osteoporotic women after 6 months of treatment as determined by a bone biopsy sample taken from the iliac crest (upper part of the pelvis).

Name Time Method Mineralizing Surface/Bone Surface (MS/BS) in the Cancellous Compartment (CC) of Iliac Crest Bone Biopsies at 6 Months 6 months MS/BS in CC is a measure of the proportion of BS on which new mineralized bone is deposited at the time of tetracycline (T) labeling and is calculated as sum of total extent of double label (DL) plus half the extent of single label (SL) divided by BS.
