Nine-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 14 per group): control, abaloparatide (Abalo, 30 μg/kg via subcutaneous injection [s.c.] 5 times per week for 6 weeks), zoledronate (ZA; 0.1 mg/kg via s.c., single dose), and Abalo + ZA.
At 2 and 4 weeks after osteotomy, both femurs were removed from seven rats per group for soft X-ray imaging to evaluate bone union and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) for bone morphometric evaluation.
