Abstract
- There have been many studies regarding the relationship between long-term use of bisphosphonate and atypical femoral fractures in the literature. However, studies regarding atypical fractures of the upper limbs are severely limited, especially in Korea. Here, we report an atypical fracture of the ulna in a patient with bisphosphonate medication for a relatively short period of 3 years without any history of fractures at other sites.
