Hope that the new drug will magically improve the bone density of not just the spine but also the hips.

So far as I know, all of the drugs increase bone density in the spine faster than the hip, but the spine is also important. Compression fractures of the spine are very painful and can put a person in a wheel chair. Any increase on none density of the hip is protective against hip fractures, but as you get older, it's important to work on your balance and do whatever you can to prevent falls, even if it means using a cane or walker.
