Atypical femoral fractures bilaterally in a patient receiving bisphosphonate: a case report.

Atypical femoral fractures are often associated with prolonged bisphosphonate use. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) has set the diagnosis criteria for atypical subtrochanteric and diaphyseal femoral fractures by classifying them according to their major and minor criteria.

We describe simultaneous bilaterally femoral fractures in a 76-year-old woman.
