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.<h4>Purpose</h4>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.<h4>Methods</h4>Clinical information was retrospectively analyzed among 38 Japanese patients who were admitted to the Department of OrthopOsteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA1633-1643https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11364693biostudies-literatureLatent metabolic bone disease, skeletal dysplasia and other conditions related to low bone formation among 38 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures: a retrospective observational study.PMC11364693Watanabe SKojima TMatsubara TSaito TKimura STakeda SHoshino YMakita NNangaku MIto NSunouchi TKato HHidaka NAzuma KfalseLatent metabolic bone disease, skeletal dysplasia and other conditions related to low bone formation among 38 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures: a retrospective observational study.Subtrochanteric femoral fracture is rare and intractable due to the possible association with low bone formation.
