Fosamax- Recovering from Injury - Osteoclasts for Bone Repair

Osteoclasts are used to strengthen bone where it has been weakened. Fosamax has recently been linked to conditions that can cause injury to the jaw of its users, and Osteoclasts can help repair the damage.

An osteoclast is a multinucleated cell that degrades and reabsorbs bone. They are involved in the natural turnover of bone tissue along with osteoblasts.

Osteoclasts arise from haemopoietic cells of the monocyte/neutrophil lineage, specifically CFU-GM.

If you required the use of Osteoclast cells due to injuries you suffered from using Fosamax, you may be entitled to compensation.
