Femoral fractures in fluoride-induced osteoporosis: an update

1987 | Calcified Tissue International | Gutteridge DH | 41(Supp 2):56.

In 1984, we reported 16 postmenopausal patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures treated with Na fluoride (NaF), calcium (Ca) and vitamin D (D). We noted relative freedom from vertebral fractures during treatment, but a disturbing incidence of femoral fractures. We now report the current status of 17 pts followed closely on continuous treatment During 71 patient years of treatment (range 13 mths to 9 yrs) 15 developed radiological fluorosis; 7 developed a total of 9 vertebral fractures (
