Using DEXA to diagnose impending atypical femoral fracture in an asymptomatic patient on long term bisphosphonates: A case report of a missed opportunity for fracture prevention.

We report a patient who sustained an AFF (Atypical femoral fractures) after 15 years of bisphosphonate treatment. DEXA scans can be utilized to identify early evidence of AFF in asymptomatic patients up to 9 years before the development of an AFF.
