Bilateral Low-Energy Simultaneous or Sequential Femoral Fractures in Patients on Long-Term Alendronate Therapy
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 11/03/09

Capeci CM et al. – In patients on long–term alendronate therapy who present with a subtrochanteric or diaphyseal femoral fracture, the authors recommend radiographs of the contralateral femur and consideration of discontinuing alendronate in consultation with an endocrinologist. If a contralateral stress fracture is found, prophylactic fixation should be considered.
