Abstract

Little literature exists about the risk of atypical femoral fracture in patients received zoledronic acid for prevention of skeletal metastasis. We report an atypical subtrochanteric femoral fracture in a patient with multiple myeloma received zoledronic acid. The patient was treated by closed reduction and internal fixation with cephalomedullary nailing.
