Effect of pre-treatment of strength training and raloxifene in periestropause on bone healing.

Background: There is evidence that strength training (ST) and raloxifene (Ral) treatment during periestropause promotes better bone quality. We wanted to determine whether the skeletal benefits of ST or Ral treatment, performed during periestropause, would persist after fracture. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the influence of pre-treatment with ST and administration of Ral during periestropause on bone healing after total unilateral osteotomy.
