However, a prolonged use of these drugs is associated to an increased risk of atypical femoral fractures, especially in patients suffering from others predisposing clinical conditions.</p> <p>This report describes a case of a woman presenting bilateral impending femoral fracture initially treated with bisphosphonates suspension and intramedullary nailing of right femur.
