Abstract

Background

Atypical femur fracture (AFF) is a well known complication of Bisphosphonate therapy. Due to prolonged suppression of bone re-modelling in these fractures, surgical complications are difficult to manage. The aim of this study was to analyze the causes of surgical complications in AFF fixations and provide algorithm for management.

Method

In this retrospective 10-year study (2010–2020), we identified patients surgically treated for AFF. We included patients who underwent revision surgery for any cause. Data collection included demographics, surgical complications, details of revision surgery and time to union.
