Risk factors for atypical femur fractures with and without bisphosphonate treatment: a national nested case-control study
< .01); however, other geometric differences were minor and did not support the hypothesis. The absence of identifiable mechanisms for stress fracture formation suggests that future research should test factors not captured in registry data or femoral geometry. Possibly, physical activity levels or subtle bone metabolic conditions may be contributing to the pathogenesis of AFF, particularly in BP-naïve individuals.
