Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis is a silent disease that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures, significantly affecting individuals and the economy, often treated with bisphosphonates to prevent such fractures.
- A 65-year-old woman with steroid-induced osteoporosis experienced severe pain and was found to have an incomplete femoral fracture after long-term bisphosphonate treatment, leading to her receiving alternative therapy with denosumab.
- The case highlights concerns about the long-term use of bisphosphonates resulting in atypical fractures, emphasizing the need for further discussion onduration, safety, and alternative osteoporosis treatments.
