Atypical femoral fracture after receiving antiresorptive drugs in breast cancer patients with bone metastasis
2017
Background
Atypical femoral fracture (AFF) occurs with minor trauma in patients receiving antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonate and denosumab. We hypothesized that patients with bone metastasis who receive higher doses of antiresorptive drugs tend to experience AFF more frequently. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence rate of AFF in patients receiving antiresorptive drugs for bone metastasis of breast cancer.
