Osteoporosis is a common problem affecting people after 4-5 decade of life. There are various treatment options available for Osteoporosis and Bisphosphonates are widely used. Bisphosphonates work by blocking osteoclast mediated bone resorption and can be given in oral and injectable forms. Recent studies have brought to light the risk of sub trochanteric stress fracture secondary to bisphosphonate therapy. Here we are presenting a case with bilateral sub trochanteric fracture following prolonged bisphosphonate therapy.
