## Abstract Reports linking longβterm use of bisphosphonates (BPs) with atypical fractures of the femur led the leadership of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) to appoint a task force to address key questions related to this problem. A multidisciplinary expert group reviewe

Bisphosphonates are the primary therapy for postmenopausal and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Case series suggest a potential link between prolonged use of bisphosphonates and low-energy fracture of subtrochanteric or diaphyseal femur as a consequence of oversuppression of bone resorption. Usi
## Abstract Subtrochanteric and femoral shaft (ST/FS) fractures are now considered to be fragility fractures in osteoporotic patients. Although rare, there is growing evidence of the burden that they constitute. Little is known about the change over time in incidence of ST/FS fractures. We assessed
## Abstract This case describes a man with an unusual cause of an atypical subtrochanteric fracture, pycnodysostosis. This condition results from mutations involving the cathepsin K gene. New antiresorptive treatments for osteoporosis inhibit the cathepsin K enzyme in osteoclasts. Therefore, there
Increasing numbers of atypical hip fractures have been reported among patients with bisphosphonate use. However, the nature and extent of the problem are unknown despite recent investigations. To analyze national trends in hip fractures and medication use in the elderly US population, we respectivel
## Abstract The objective of this crossβsectional analysis was to examine the correlates of trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) in 3670 communityβdwelling men, mean age 73.6βΒ±β5.9 years. vBMD was measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and areal BMD by dualβene
