Alternative Osteoporosis Therapies After Bisphosphonate Associated Atypical Femur Fractures: A Retrospective Analysis

These findings highlight a significant care gap in secondary fracture prevention and underscore the need for a multidisciplinary approach, including coordination between endocrinology, orthopaedics, and primary care, to improve adherence to post-fracture osteoporosis management guidelines.
