Subtrochanteric 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 کاملSubtrochanteric Femoral Insufficiency Fracture in Woman on Bisphosphonate Therapy for Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis
We present the case of an 85-year-old woman who sustained a subtrochanteric femoral shaft insufficiency fracture after receiving bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis. After more than 6 years of taking risedronate sodium (Actonel) and daily supplemental calcium carbonate and vitamin D, the patient developed right anterior thigh pain that was worse with weight-bearing. A small, pyramidal ridge...
متن کاملA Subtrochanteric Femoral Stress Fracture following Bisphosphonate Treatment in an Adolescent Girl.
Atypical subtrochanteric and diaphyseal femoral fractures (AFFs) have emerged as a potential complication of bisphosphonate treatment in adults. Despite increasing off-label use of bisphosphonates in children and adolescents for a variety of skeletal disorders, there have been no reports of AFFs in children or adolescents outside of the osteogenesis imperfecta population. We present the case of...
متن کاملBisphosphonate-associated atypical subtrochanteric femur fracture.
Bisphosphonates help prevent progressive bone mineralization loss and subsequent osteoporotic fractures. However, long-term bisphosphonate therapy paradoxically increases the risk of a unique injury called an atypical subtrochanteric femur fracture. Despite this, the benefits of bisphosphonates outweigh the risks, because far more pathologic fractures are prevented than induced. The early ident...
متن کاملPeriprosthetic Femoral Insufficiency Fracture in a Patient on Long-term Bisphosphonate Therapy
Recent literature shows an association between long-term bisphosphonate therapy and low-energy fractures of the subtrochanteric femur. It is thought that the pharmacology of bisphosphonates and stress characteristics of the subtrochanteric femur predispose patients on long-term therapy to fracture. There are few reports in the literature of bisphosphonate-associated periprosthetic fractures wit...
