Pathogenesis, Management and Prevention of Atypical Femoral Fractures
Pathogenesis, Management and Prevention of Atypical Femoral Fractures

초록

Much attention has been paid to the relationship between atypical femoral fractures (AFF) and use of bisphosphonates (BPs). While a significant cause-effect relationship was not established in earlier studies, more recent data shows a growing relationship between AFF and BPs use. The definition of an ‘AFF’ has also undergone significant changes. This review briefly summarizes the definition, pathogenesis, and management of AFF.
