Abstract EN
Long-term bisphosphonate use has been suggested to result in decreased bone remodelling and an increased risk of atypical fractures.
Fractures of this nature commonly occur in the femur, and relatively few reports exist to show that they occur in other bones.
Among eight previous reports of atypical ulnar fractures associated with bisphosphonate use, one report described nonunion in a patient who was treated with cast immobilization and another described ulna nonunion in one of three patients, all of whom were treated surgically with a locking plate.
The remaining two surgical patients achieved bone union uneventfully following resection of the osteosclerotic lesion and iliac bone grafting before rigid fixation.
We hypothesized that the discontinuation of bisphosphonate therapy, the use of teriparatide treatment, and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) might have been associated with fracture healing.
