Bisphosphonate use and atypical fractures of the femoral shaft.
BACKGROUND Studies show conflicting results regarding the possible excess risk of atypical fractures of the femoral shaft associated with bisphosphonate use. METHODS In Sweden, 12,777 women 55 years of age or older sustained a fracture of the femur in 2008. We reviewed radiographs of 1234 of the 1271 women who had a subtrochanteric or shaft fracture and identified 59 patients with atypical fr...
متن کاملAssociation of low-energy femoral shaft fractures and bisphosphonate use.
The purpose of this study was to elaborate on the association between the use of bisphosphonates and low-energy femoral shaft fractures. A retrospective review was performed between January 2000 and January 2010 to identify patients older than 65 years who sustained femoral shaft diaphyseal fractures (Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification 32 A [extra-articular], B [partial articular/uni...
متن کاملSubtrochanteric Femoral Fracture during Trochanteric Nailing for the Treatment of Femoral Shaft Fracture
We report on three cases of subtrochanteric femoral fractures during trochanteric intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. Trochanteric intramedullary nails, which have a proximal lateral bend, are specifically designed for trochanteric insertion. When combined with the modified insertion technique, trochanteric intramedullary nails reduce iatrogenic fracture comminu...
متن کاملSubtrochanteric Femoral Insufficiency Fracture Following Bisphosphonate Therapy for Osseous Metastases
We present the case of an insufficiency fracture of the femoral shaft in a 61-year-old man who had received bisphosphonate therapy to reduce the fracture risk from lytic renal cell carcinoma metastases to the spine. Approximately 1.5 years after beginning monthly intravenous infusions of zoledronic acid (Zometa), the patient complained of persistent thigh pain. Radionuclide bone scan showed mil...
متن کاملRisk of atypical femoral fracture during and after bisphosphonate use
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Use of bisphosphonates in women is associated with higher risk of atypical femoral fractures. The risk in terms of timing of use and type of bisphosphonate, and in men, remains unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed radiographs of 5,342 Swedish women and men aged 55 years or more who had had a fracture of the femoral shaft in the 3-year period 2008-2010 (97% of those...
