What is A Femoral Fracture?
A femoral fracture is a break in one of the strongest
bones in the body, the femur (thighbone). The femur is extremely difficult to break without the presence of an strong force, such as a car accident or a fall from an extreme height. To break the femur across its length (shaft) takes a incredible amount of force. A broken femur is associated with serious and potentially life-threatening injuries. Symptoms of a femoral fracture include severe pain, inability to move the leg, deformity, and swelling. Open fractures have added potential for infection. While normally a large amount of force is required to break the femur (thighbone), evidence suggests that patients taking the bisphosphonate Fosamax can suffer abnormal, or "atypical" femur fractures. These atypical femur fractures occur in low-energy impacts such as walking, standing or going down the stairs, yet cause an otherwise healthy-seeming femur break all too easily.
How does Fosamax cause femur fractures?
Evidence suggests that, while Fosamax does result in denser bones, these bones are not built with the strength and flexibility required to prevent fractures.
What should I do if I or a Loved One has an atypical fracture after taking Fosamax?
After seeking medical treatment, you should contact a Fosamax femur fracture attorney who can advise you on issues such as whether the thigh or other bone injury is related to Fosamax, how to preserve your right to be fairly compensated for the medical bills, damage, and agony endured, and how to establish your claim.
