Bone fusion 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 surgical site. It has been reported that systemically administering a single dose of zoledronic acid (ZA) at the optimal time increases the strength of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-mediated callus. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of BMP-2 and ZA in a rat spinal model. Sixty-seven rats were divided into 6 groups: group I (n = 11) animals were implanted with a carrier alone, group II (n = 12) animals were implanted with a carrier and a subcutaneous injection of ZA was administered 2 weeks after surgery, group III (n = 12) animals were implanted with a carrier containing 1 jig of rhBMP-2, group IV (n = 12) animals were implanted with a carrier containing 1 mu g of rhBMP-2 and a subcutaneous injection of ZA was administered 2 weeks after surgery, group V (n = 10) animals were implanted with a carrier containing 3 mu g of rhBMP-2, and group VI (n = 10) animals were implanted with a carrier containing 3 mu g of rhBMP-2 and a subcutaneous injection of ZA was administered 2 weeks after surgery. The rats were euthanized after 6 weeks, and their spines were explanted and assessed by manual palpation, radiography, high-resolution micro-computerized tomography (micro-CT), and histologic analysis. The fusion rates in group VI (60%) were considerably higher than those in the groups I (0%), II (0%), III (12.5%), IV (20.8%), and V (35%), (P
