Periprosthetic atypical femoral fractures exist and are associated with duration of bisphosphonate therapy

Abstract

AFFs do occur in association with prostheses. Longer duration of bisphosphonate therapy is an independent predictor of PAFF. Complication rates are higher following PAFFs compared with typical PFFs, particularly of reoperation and infection. Cite this article: <i>Bone Joint J</i> 2019;101-B:1285-1291.
