( Schneider, JP, 2009)
" The current treatment for preventing and treating osteoporotic fractures is the use of antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates (BPs) and denosumab, but unfortunately, their long-term use, especially with alendronate and ibandronate, has been associated with increased risk of atypical femoral fractures (AFFs); femoral diaphyseal fractures distal to the lesser trochanter but proximal to the supracondylar flare."5.22Effects of bisphosphonates on appendicular fracture repair in rodents. ( Hadjiargyrou, M, 2022)

" During the last decade, the occurrence of atypical fractures, mostly subtrochanteric and diaphyseal femoral fractures, has been acknowledged in patients with long-term use of bisphosphonates."1.43Bilateral distal fibula fractures in a woman on long-term bisphosphonate therapy. ( Audet, MC; Bédard, M; Michou, L; Murray, JC, 2016)
" We assumed that both of the fractures were associated with the long-term use of alendronate."1.43Localized cortical thickening of the femoral diaphysis captured on an X-ray before alendronate therapy in two cases of atypical femoral fracture.

( Chen, CH; Chen, JC; Cheng, YM; Fu, YC; Hsieh, CH; Huang, HT; Huang, PJ; Kang, L; Lin, SY, 2012)
" Concerns have been raised about potential oversuppression of bone turnover and the development of atypical skeletal fragility associated with long-term use of bisphosphonates."1.36Atypical insufficiency fracture of the tibia associated with long-term bisphosphonate therapy. ( Breglia, MD; Carter, JD, 2010)
