DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4255
Abstract: Atypical femur fractures (AFF) are a rare but serious complication of long‐term bisphosphonate use. Although clearly defined by ASBMR criteria, a proportion of patients with AFFs may go unrecognized and the use of qualitative fracture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jor.23455
Abstract: Identifying native femoral version from proximal femoral landmarks would be of benefit both for preoperative assessment as well as intraoperatively. To identify potential markers for femoral anteversion, an empirical framework was developed for orientation‐independent analysis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jor.23550
Abstract: Pathologic fractures of femora in patients with metastatic cancer are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Prediction of impending fractures is based on unspecific clinical criteria or past clinician's experience, which leads to underestimation or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00068-021-01740-x
Abstract: For successful intramedullary implant placement at the femur, such as nailing in unstable proximal femur fractures, the use of an implant that at least reaches or exceeds the femoral isthmus and yields sufficient thickness is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00068-022-01965-4
Abstract: Pediatric femur fractures are a major trauma in children. Different treatment algorithms have been developed but indications for surgical treatment, especially in very young patients, are still controversial. Literature recommends surgical stabilization with elastic-stable intramedullary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-021-05948-w
Abstract: Atypical femur fracture (AFF) is an uncommon complication of long-term bisphosphonate use, but the risk declines substantially after treatment cessation. We report a case of a 70-year-old woman with osteopenia treated with alendronate for 9… read more here.
