Abstract
Already from the late 1970s, some fractures of the subtrochanteric and diaphyseal region of the femur were defined "atypical" and described as "fatigue" fractures. In 2005, Odvina reported an unusual type of femoral fracture after the administration of alendronate as a result of a severely repressed bone turnover and Lenart defined femoral fractures occurring on the subtrocanteric or diaphyseal region in post-menopause women after alendronate therapy as "atypical" (AFFs).
