摘要
Atypical femoral fractures are uncommon fractures that are often associated with extended bisphosphonate use. They occur in the proximal or middle diaphyseal portion of the femur with a short oblique pattern and have relatively thickened cortices. Prodromal pain symptoms vary and bilateral involvement is common. Because delayed or complicated healing adversely affects treatment, fixation with a load-sharing intramedullary nail seems to fair better than load-bearing plate stabilization. If a delayed union is noted, it is best to wait up to one year before surgical intervention. Optimization of the patient’s metabolism is also required.
