Study Summary

In subjects with acute SCI: To compare the effects of parenteral zoledronic acid therapy on preservation of regional and total skeletal mass (DXA). Hypothesis: Zoledronic acid will dramatically diminish bone loss in persons with acute SCI, as evidenced by serial densitometry determinations (DXA).

Primary Outcome

An imaging method known as dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to obtain BMD of the distal femur and proximal tibia by using a customized research software program supplied by the manufacturer. This measurement will be the primary determinant (dependent measure) of difference among the treatment and control groups, and they will be followed over time at the previously specified time points.
