Abstract :
[en] Importance of the field: Osteoporosis is now considered as a major health problem in all developed and in most developing (non-African) coutries.
Areas covered in this review: In the present review, we provide an extensive literature survey (MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Controlled Register), for articles dealing with osteoporosis management and/or strontium ranelate, from 1920 to 2010.
What the reader will gain: The objective is to provide an extensive, unbiased assessment of the available data allowing to place strontium ranelate in perspective, with other anti-osteoporosis treatments.
Take home message: Owing to a positive benefit/risk ratio, strontium ranelate may now be considered as a first-line treatment in the management of osteoporosis.
