Abstract

In this study, the efficacy of alendronate (ALN) treatment on
tibial subchondral bone was evaluated using in vivo microCT in
a rat model of low-dose monosodium iodoacetate-induced
(MIA) osteoarthritis (OA), at an early stage of the disease. Rats
(n=24) received a single intra-articular injection of 0.2 mg
MIA in the right knee to induce OA, and sterile saline in the
left knee.
