Abstract :Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, increasing the risk of fractures. As the global incidence of osteoporosis rises, it has become a pressing concern for healthcare professionals. Long-term use of bisphosphonates (BPs), commonly prescribed for osteoporosis, has been associated with atypical femur fractures (AFFs). While AFFs are relatively rare, they are a serious concern due to their potential complications.
