JBJS Case Connector, 2016
We posted our first “Case Connections” article about bisphosphonate-related atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) one year ago. Since then, JBJS Case Connector has published three additional case reports on the same topic, suggesting that it’s time for a revisit. These three recent cases demonstrate that AFFs can occur despite prophylactic intramedullary (

Periprosthetic femoral fractures
British Journal of Hospital MedicineThe incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures is rising in the UK, because of an ageing population and an increasing number of hip arthroplasty operations being performed. They can occur intra- or postoperatively, and usually follow low energy trauma. They present with pain, swelling over the thigh, and an inability to weight bear.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
The absolute number of hip fractures is large, increasing, and related to osteoporosis as well as other factors. By 65 years of age, 50% of women will exhibit bone mineral below the fracture threshold; by age 85, 100%. Trabecular bone loss, which occurs before cortical bone loss, is characteristic of postmenopausal osteoporosis, while cortical bone ...

Femoral neck fracture: a complication of femoral nailing
Injury, 1995A fracture of the shaft of the femur in adults is common after road traffic accidents. Until recently it was not known that a fracture of the femoral neck can occur while fixing the femoral shaft fracture with an intramedullary nail. We report three patients in whom femoral neck fractures occurred during femoral nailing.

SPONTANEOUS FRACTURES OF THE FEMORAL NECK
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 19621. Aching pain in the thigh, hip or buttock in an elderly person should lead to radiological examination of the hip region. In patients who have been subjected to irradiation for pelvic neoplasms a spontaneous fracture should be strongly suspected and the patient kept under close review, even if the first radiograph is negative. 2.

[Combined fractures of the femoral neck with femoral shaft fractures].
Helvetica chirurgica acta, 1993Ipsilateral fractures of the femoral neck and shaft presents diagnostic difficulties and complex choices as to treatment. The surgeon is often faced with a multiply-injured patient with an obvious fracture of the femoral shaft. The accompanying femoral neck fracture can be overlooked (20-50%).
