Abstract Purpose of Review Atypical femur fractures (AFFs) are rare subtrochanteric or
diaphyseal fractures regarded as side effects of bisphosphonates (BPs), possibly with a …

Modern osteoporosis treatment began in the mid-1990s with the approval of amino-
bisphosphonates, anti-resorptive agents that have been shown to decrease osteoporotic …

Background We have investigated mid-shaft stress fractures of the bowed femoral shaft
(SBFs), well before the first report of an association between suppression of bone turnover …

Introduction Atypical femoral fractures (AFF) are characterized as low-energy fractures of the
femoral shaft or subtrochanteric region. Femoral geometry is known to play a role in AFF …

Antiresorptives such as bisphosphonates (BP) and denosumab are commonly used
osteoporosis treatments that are effective in preventing osteoporotic fractures by …

Stress fractures likely have a 1–2% incidence in athletes in general. In runners, a more
vulnerable population, incidence rates likely range between 3.2 and 21% with female …

Abstract Purposeof Review The etiology of atypical femoral fracture (AFF) is likely
multifactorial. In this review, we examined the recent literature investigating the role of lower …

Introduction The authors previously reported a CT-based nonlinear finite element analysis
(nonlinear CT/FEA) model to investigate loading stress distribution in the femoral shaft of …

Osteoporosis remains an important but underappreciated disorder. In the United States,
there are at least 2 million osteoporotic fractures every year. Vertebral fractures are the most …

This study aimed to identify differences in femur geometry between patients with
subtrochanteric/shaft atypical femur fractures (AFFs) and the general population, and to …
