Abstract
|
|
|
|
Bisphosphonates have been used as first-line therapy to reduce the incidence of osteoporotic fractures. Several publications have recently described the occurrence of low-energy subtrochanteric and femoral shaft fractures with long-term bisphosphonate use, so called atypical femoral fracture. Atypical fracture is a rare condition, and the treatment and its effectiveness have not been adequately reported. Thus, finding appropriate treatment is difficult. In this report, the authors reviewed the treatment of atypical fracture and described helpful suggestions for surgery.
