DOI: 10.1002/bies.202200206
Abstract: Osteoporosis (OP) is a bone disease which affects a number of post‐menopausal females and puts many at risk for fractures. A large number of patients are taking bisphosphonates (BPs) to treat their OP and a… read more here.

Abstract: Atypical femoral fractures are a very rare complication after treatment with bisphosphonates. This case report describes the diagnostic criteria and some particularities of the surgical treatment. Atypical femoral fractures are typically stabilized with intramedullary nails but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-018-4769-1
Abstract: Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are low-energy femoral fractures with characteristic radiological features and a suspected relation to treatment with bisphosphonate (BP) or denosumab. In osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), BP is currently the drug of choice when… read more here.
