Bone repair involves a complex set of regulated signaling pathways that control the formation of new bone matrix and the resorption of damaged bone matrix at the fracture site. It has been reported that the optimal time point for single-dose zoledronic acid (ZA) administration systemically increased the strength of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7-mediated callus. However, its repair mechanism during bone fracture healing remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the synergic effect of recombinant human (rh) BMP-2 and ZA in a rat femoral fracture model. Fifty-eight rats were divided into 4 groups. Group I (n = 14) animals were implanted with a carrier alone. Group II (n = 15) animals were implanted with a carrier containing 1-mu g rhBMP-2. Group III (n = 14) animals were implanted with a carrier and a subcutaneous systemic ZA injection 2 weeks after surgery. Group IV (n = 15) animals were implanted with a carrier containing 1-mu g rhBMP-2 and ZA subcutaneous injection 2 weeks after surgery. The rats were euthanized after 6 weeks and their fractured femurs were explanted and assessed by manual palpation. radiographs, and high-resolution micro-computerized tomography (micro-CT) and were subjected to biomechanical and histological analysis. The fusion rates in Group IV (93.3%) were considerably higher than those in Groups I (28.6%), II (53.3%), and III (57.1%). Additionally, the radiographic scores of Group IV were higher than those in Groups I, II, and III. In micro-CT analysis, the tissue volume (TV) of the callus was higher in Group IV than in Groups I and II (p
