Efficacy of Zoledronic Acid in Enhancement of Early Stability of Cementless Primary Hip Prosthesis

The patients in the active-treatment group will receive a single 5 mg dose of zoledronic acid intravenously just prior to release from the hospital (about 5th day post-surgery) as an adjunct therapy. The control group will receive a placebo (saline) infusion. All infusions will be given 100 ml in volume and infused over a period of 15 minutes with a pre- and post-infusion flush with normal saline.
