"Preventing hip fractures remains the holy grail of treating osteoporosis, as we know that six months after a hip fracture, nearly a fifth of patients will be dead."
David Reid

A study on brittle bone disease (Osteoporosis) published in the recent edition of the New England journal of Medicine showed that once a year injection of a drug called Zoledronic Acid effectively treated osteoporosis compared to pills. This will be convenient than taking daily or weekly or even monthly pills for the treatment of osteoporosis (brittle bone disease) that afflicts many postmenopausal women.
