Thank you for sharing; I will take a look at these links.

I fractured last year after 5+ years on Fosamax so no, I am not doing well on my bone plan.

There is an Inspire poster that is fairly well known, PhoneyBoney. She was also fracturing on bisphosphonates etc.; I believe that she took various drugs.
She self reports that after taking strontium citrate that she stopped fracturing.
The links which I sent you has a 2020 compilation of strontium research; in that compilation the scientists say that one reason strontium has such a high success of preventing fractures is because it seems to make something called "sacrificial bonds" which allow the bone to sustain more injury.

I don't know if this sacrificial bond is what stopped PhoneBoney's bisphosphonate fracturing, but it is possible.
