- Difference of femoral BMD between the Z6 group
and the Z3P3 placebo group 1 - No difference between the 2 groups for clinical
fractures - Reduction of 52 in the number of radiologic
vertebral fractures (n 14 versus n 30) within
the Z6/Z3P3 group
- Zoledronic acid long-term treatment does not
expose to an increased risk of side effects - The question of the interest of prolonged
treatment remains open

7Diagnostic criteria for atypical femoral fracture
Osteoporosis treatments
25
- Major criteria
- Fracture line in a proximal site should be under
the lesser trochanter and , in distal site, over
the femoral condyles - It should be a nontraumatic fracture, or
following a low-energy trauma - Fracture line should be transversal or oblique,
with a lt 30 angle - It should be a noncomminuted fracture
- Complete fractures involve the entire
crossection of the bone, from one cortical to the
other, with a possible internal thorn - Incomplete fractures affect only the external
cortical
Short-oblique configuration
Medial spine
- Minor criteria
- Periosteal reaction on the external cortical
- Increase of cortical thickness
- Dull pain prodromes in thigh s and inner thighs
- Bilateral fracture
- Delayed cicatrization
- Associated comorbidities rheumatoid arthritis,
vitamin D insufficiency, hypophosphatasia - Associated therapies bisphosphonates,
corticoids, proton pump inhibitors
Noncomminuted
- Exclusion criteria femoral neck fractures,
intertrochanteric fractures with a
subtrochanteric extension, periprosthetic or
pathological fractures within the context of
primary bone tumors or bone metastasis - All major criteria are required for diagnosis
- The minor criteria are not necessary (for
diagnosis) but sometimes (we) come across their
association

- Hospitalizations for subtrochanteric fractures
are rare, but they are increasing in menopausal
women. - The number of menopausal patients under
bisphosphonate treatment has been increasing
during the same period. - But, at the same time, the number of classic hip
fractures is decreasing.

- For these atypical femoral fractures,
- no association with alendronate in the New
Zealand study - an apparent association between BP and atypical
fractures in the Australian study, but with a
very weak frequency of the latter - treatment benefits prevail over potential risk

10What is the incidence of subtrochanteric and
diaphyseal fractures before and after treatment

Before and after periods
- There was an increased risk for subtrochanteric
and diaphyseal fractures before starting the
treatment against osteoporosis. This increased
risk was especially high in the year preceding
start of treatment. - With alendronate, such increased risk diminishes
progressively with treatment.

11Incidence of subtrochanteric fractures in the SOF
cohort

29
- 1 396 hip fractures, 45 of which were
subtrochanteric fractures
Femoral ? 58,1/10 000 Intertrochanteric ?
49,1/10 000 Subtrochanteric ? 3,1/10 000
- Subtrochanteric fractures represent less than 2
of hip fractures - The incidence of subtrochanteric fractures
increases with patient age, with a same pattern
as for hip fractures
