摘要:
Background: Biphosphonates, especially alendronate, are used extensively and successfully for the treatment of osteoporosis. However, there are numerous recent studies that indicate low-energy subtrochanteric femoral fractures can be associated with long-term alendronate therapy. Findings: We present a 76-year-old female patient who has taken 70 mg alendronate per week for 7 years, and who presented with pain in the left thigh. Conclusions: The patient was diagnosed as atypical femoral fracture resulting from long-term alendronate use. The diagnosis and the treatment will be discussed with a review of the literature.
