Dose (mg zoledronate/mL)	Maximum shear stiffness (MPa/mm)	Maximum shear strength (MPa)	Total energy absorption (kJ/m2)
Control (0 mg/mL)	8.9 (5.6–12.2)	1.9 (1.2–2.7)	0.4 (0.2–0.6)
Low dose (0.005 mg/mL)	10.5 (5.6–15.4)	2.6 (1.4–3.7)	0.7 (0.4–1.0)
Middle dose (0.05 mg/mL)	4.0 (2.1–5.8)	1.0 (0.6–1.5)	0.4 (0.2–0.6)
High dose (0.5 mg/mL)	0.8 (0.6–1.1)	0.4 (0.3–0.4)	0.3 (0.2–0.4)
