Official Title: Postoperative Use of Bisphosphonates Reduces Adverse Outcome After Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Nationwide Population-based Cohort Study

However, the results in the early literature are inconsistent and the influence of bisphosphonates on associated complications and subsequent total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains unknown. This study is to investigate the association between the use of bisphosphonates and risk of adverse outcomes after primary TJA.Materials…
