Popis: |
The prolonged use of bisphosphonates has been associated with an increased rate of atypical femoral fracture. A 77-year-old woman with prolonged bisphosphonate use presented to our office with groin pain and end-stage arthritis, She was scheduled for a total hip replacement. Before the surgery and with minimal trauma, the patient then suffered a displaced atypical femoral fracture. She underwent a total hip replacement as a treatment for her fracture and her arthritis. Subsequently, the patient presented with pain in the contralateral thigh with an incomplete atypical femoral fracture. That side was also treated with a total hip arthroplasty. An uncemented stem with open reduction internal fixation and a long cemented stem were used on the complete fracture and incomplete fracture sides, respectively. At a follow-up of 2 years, the patient had no pain and had excellent function demonstrating the short-term success of both cemented and uncemented stems in total hip arthroplasty after atypical femoral fractures. |
