Despite widespread endorsement, Teppo Järvinen and colleagues argue that evidence for stratifying risk of fracture and subsequent drug therapy to prevent hip fracture is insufficient to warrant our current approach

“…It is also thought that those taking concomitant GCs in addition to BPs or with a genetic disposition to fracture may have a further increased risk. A large Swedish observational study of femoral fractures in postmenopausal women39 showed that fracture rate decreased rapidly after drug withdrawal, therefore intermittent use may be favourable and a BP ‘holiday’ in children on long-term BPs could be considered.Iatrogenic osteopetrosis: in 2003, the first case of BP-induced osteopetrosis (or marble bone disease) was described in a boy aged 12 years who had received pamidronate infusions for the previous 3 years for idiopathic bone pain and osteopaenia 40. Abnormal oversuppression of bone remodelling (with a histological absence of osteoclasts on bone surfaces) was still present when he was followed up 7 years after cessation of BP.…”

“…The annual absolute risk of atypical femur fractures is reported as 11 per 10 000 person years of bisphosphonate use. 4 There is no consensus about the incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw, however, risk is increased with more than three years of treatment, more potent intravenous bisphosphonates, and higher doses (such as those used in managing cancer).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
