| Abstract |
Bisphosphonates are commonly used in osteoporosis, but concerns have been raised about possible negative effects on fracture healing. We systematically reviewed the literature and found that bisphosphonates significantly prolong union times of distal radius fractures but not femoral fractures. The timing of bisphosphonate introduction does not affect fracture union time. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 March 2015.
All research outputs
#17,265,887
of 25,352,304 outputs
Outputs from Osteoporosis International
#2,559
of 3,857 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#222,616
of 364,502 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Osteoporosis International
#37
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,352,304 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,857 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.1. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 364,502 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
