• Subjects with a history of traumatic fractures (for example, those caused by automobile accidents or falls from greater than standing height) are eligible only if they also have a minimum of one moderate or two mild atraumatic vertebral fractures and a minimum of seven evaluable nonfractured vertebrae.
• The initial fracture assessment and the determination of eligibility of the subject to be entered into the study will be made by the individual investigator.
[6] Total hip BMD or lumbar spine (L-1 to L-4) BMD measurement more than 2.5 standard deviations below the average bone mass for young, healthy women (T-score), as determined from the manufacturer’s database, only in subjects with fewer than two moderate fractures.
[7] Normal or clinically nonsignificant abnormal laboratory values (serum calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, TSH, and urine calcium must be within normal limits at enrollment).

[9] Satisfactory baseline thoracic and lumbar spinal x-ray views cannot be obtained.
[10] Current or recent metabolic bone disorders other than postmenopausal osteoporosis or disease which affects bone metabolism.
[12] History of carcinoma in the previous 5 yrs or currently suspected carcinoma, with the exception of excised superficial lessions.
[13] Nephrolithiasis or urolithiasis in the 2 yrs prior to enrollment. Subjects with any history of nephro- or urolithiasis must have an appropriate radiology study within 6 calendar months prior to enrollment to document the absence of active disease.

[21] Treatment with estrogen as follows:
• oral, transdermal, or injectable estrogens, estrogen analogs, estrogen agonists, and estrogen antagonists in the 3 calendar months prior to enrollment, or for more than 2 months in the 12 calendar months prior to enrollment (with exception of oral estriol).
• intravaginal estrogens in doses more than 1.25 mg conjugated equine estrogen or 25 µg estradiol for more than two doses per week in the 3 calendar months prior to enrollment (with the exception of estriol).
[22] Treatment with progestins or selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) in the 3 calendar months prior to enrollment, or for more than 2 months in the 12 calendar months prior to enrollment.
[23] Treatment with corticosteroids as follows:
Subjects may not be treated with any of the following in the 3 calendar

• topical corticosteroids under occlusive dressings in doses >0.5 grams of 0.5% triamcinolone/day or equivalent;
• topical corticosteroids not under occlusive dressings in doses >3 grams of 0.5% betamethasone/day or equivalent;
• orally inhaled or nasally inhaled corticosteroids in doses >400 µg/day beclomethasone or equivalent; or
• more than a single injection of intra-articular corticosteroids in doses >40 mg triamcinolone or equivalent.
Both preenrollment and postenrollment, ophthalmic and otic corticosteroid therapy may be used without limitation.
[24] Treatment with fluorides in the 6 calendar months prior to enrollment or for more than 60 days in the 24 calendar months prior to enrollment. Current use of fluoridated water and topical dental fluoride treatments are permitted.
[25] Treatment with oral bisphosphonates in the 3 calendar months prior to enrollment or for more than 60 days in the 24 calendar months prior to enrollment; treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates in
