Subtrochanteric fracture of the femur following knee replacement surgery: A case series and review of the literature
2024, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCalcaneal insufficiency fractures following ipsilateral total knee arthroplasty
2021, InjuryCitation Excerpt :The P value was also smaller in HKA (P = 0.001). Previous case reports have described IFs following TKA, including those of the femur [9–17], fibula [18,19], tibia [20–22], metatarsal bone [23,24], pubis [25], and calcaneus [1–8]. However, there are only few study reports published in English, describing calcaneal IFs following TKA, and no cases have been reported from any country other than Japan or South Korea.

2013, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :Glucocorticoids and proton-pump inhibitor therapy have been identified as risk factors for atypical fractures in some,39 but not all,40,41 studies. Atypical femoral fractures also occur in bisphosphonate-naïve patients.41-46 Sparse information is available about the incidence of atypical femoral fractures in patients with and without bisphosphonate treatment.
Antiresorptive drugs (bisphosphonates), atypical fractures and rebound effect: New evidence of similitude
2012, HomeopathyCitation Excerpt :Clinical features include prodromal pain for weeks to months prior to the fracture,38-41 lack of precipitating trauma,38-41 bilaterality (either simultaneous or sequential),38,39,42,43 poor fracture healing,38,44 and normal or low bone mass but not osteoporosis in the hip region.42,45,46 Radiographic features that appear distinctive include presence of stress reaction (focal uptake on bone) on the affected and/or unaffected side,38–40,43,47 transverse or short oblique fractures40 (in contrast to the more common osteoporosis-related spiral or longitudinal fracture) and cortical hypertrophy or thickening.38 According to the wide analysis of the ASBMR Task Force26 the total number of reported cases of atypical ST/FS fractures was 310 after overlapping case reports had been excluded (286 cases occurred in association with BP treatment for osteoporosis and 5 associated with malignancy).
Femoral Fractures in Osteoporotic Patients on Bisphosphnates. A Case Report
2012, Journal of Clinical DensitometryCitation Excerpt :These include lack of precipitating trauma (11,13,37); bilaterality (either simultaneous or sequential) (11–13,16); transverse fractures (37); increased cortical thickness (11), stress reaction on the affected and/or unaffected side (11,13,15,16,37); and/or poor fracture healing (11,38). Other clinical features include prodromal pain in thigh or groin for weeks or months before the fracture (11,13,37); use of an additional antiresorptive agent (estrogen, raloxifene, and calcitonin); use of glucocorticoids or proton pump inhibitor in addition to BPs (11,12,15); presence of rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes mellitus; serum (25(OH)D) levels less than 20 ng/mL; and normal or low BMD but not osteoporosis in the hip region (12,25,35). Earlier detection before clinical fracture in this case would have been helpful.
