ABSTRACT
Abstract

Introduction:

Bisphosphonates have been the gold standard in the management of osteoporosis. Its antiresorptive effect has reduced the incidence of fractures due to bone fragility, as well as its impact on public health. We present the clinical case of a patient in prolonged treatment with bisphosphonates and atypical bilateral femur fracture. Case report A 65-year-old female who presented a fall from her own height, on treatment with risedronate for seven years, and a history of systemic arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, both with medical treatment. Diagnosed with bilateral atypical femoral fracture, treated with closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) with intramedullary nailing, application of calcium citrate and teriparatide.

Discussion:

Multiple studies indicate that the benefit of using bisphosphonates for osteoporosis is higher than the risk of presenting atypical fractures.
RESUMEN
Resumen

Introducción:

Los bifosfonatos han sido de gran utilidad en el manejo de la osteoporosis. Su efecto antirresortivo ha disminuido la incidencia de fracturas por fragilidad ósea, así como, su impacto en salud pública. Presentamos el caso clínico de una usuaria en tratamiento prolongado con bifosfonatos y fractura atípica de fémur bilateral. Caso clínico Femenino de 65 años, presenta caía de su plano de sustentación, en tratamiento con risedronato desde hace siete años y antecedente de hipertensión arterial sistémica e hipercolesterolemia, ambas con manejo médico. Diagnosticada con fractura bilateral de fémur, tratada con enclavado centro-medular, citrato de calcio y teriparatida.
