Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that affects a significant part of the population. Preventing fractures of the femoral neck is one of the most pressing issues in the treatment of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are highly recommended in people suffering from osteoporosis. They are proven to inhibit bone resorption and also proven to have anti-fracture efficiency. However, treatment using BPs does not completely eliminate the risk of fractures. In this article we present a female patient with a non-traumatic fracture of the femoral neck who regularly ingested oral BPs for 3 years as a preventative treatment.
