A 78-year-old woman developed an insufficiency fracture on her right femoral neck without trauma after four years of treatment with a bisphosphonate. Her fracture was fixed by two screws and her anti-osteoporotic drug was changed from an anti-resorptive to an anabolic agent. Seven months later, however, she sustained similar insufficiency fracture on the left femoral neck and was treated with t...
