Summary
Insufficiency fractures occur in normal load on pathologically weak bone, as a result of osteoporosis. Atypical femoral fractures are well described complication of long term bisphosphonate use. With a growing geriatric population, the incidence of insufficiency fractures, as well as atypical femoral fractures, has increased. Also their early diagnostics is a problem, because they are often overlooked on first native X-ray. We present a case of patient, longterm treated with denosumab, who developed fracture of the pubic ramus. Because of delayed bone healing with unusual pattern we consider long-term anti-resorption therapy as a potentional cause of the pubic ramus fracture or factor affecting the healing of insufficiency fracture.
