Trial design

Randomised, zoledronic acid intravenous infusion (product: zoledronic acid; max total dose amount listed as 5 mg) versus electrolytes (nacl) intravenous infusion as placebo (product: electrolytes; max total dose amount listed as 40 millilitre(s)/kilogram). timing comparison: zoledronate given early within 5 days after hip fracture surgery versus late at 3 months after surgery (per trial objective).-controlled Phase IV trial across 3 sites in Norway.
