Latent metabolic bone disease, skeletal dysplasia and other conditions related to low bone formation among 38 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: Subtrochanteric femoral fracture is rare and intractable due to the possible association with low bone formation. Retrospective analysis of 38 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures revealed that four patients suffered from disorders related to low bone formation and there were specific treatments for two of them.

Purpose

The main aim of this study was to detect latent metabolic bone diseases and skeletal dysplasia associated with low bone formation among patients with morphologic atypical femoral fracture (AFF). A second aim was to evaluate the frequency of recognized risk factors, such as antiresorptive agents, glucocorticoids, and age.

Methods

Clinical information was retrospectively analyzed among 38 Japanese patients who were admitted to the Department of Orthop
