Patients who claim that they have suffered Fosamax femur fractures while taking the medication may have legal recourse, as long-term use of the drug and other bisphosphonates used for osteoporosis treatment has allegedly been linked to a risk of atypical fractures of the thighbone, which is among the strongest bones in the body. In general, a great deal of force, such as that exerted in a car crash, is needed to break a thigh bone. However, patients who have reportedly suffered Fosamax thigh fractures while taking the drug claim that they were engaging in non-strenuous activities, such as walking across a room or descending stairs, when their femur broke.
Although Fosamax is used to build bone density and prevent fractures in patients with osteoporosis, it has been reported that long-term use of the medication may have an adverse impact on the femur bones. Specifically, the drug can allegedly harden the outer layer of bones cells, inhibiting them from being replenished through normal bone remodeling. As a result, tiny fractures may develop, resulting in a possible Fosamax femur fracture, without any real trauma.
Patients who have suffered a femur fracture while taking this drug may be eligible for a Fosamax lawsuit. To learn more, visit Class Action.org to receive a free case evaluation. The attorneys are offering this no cost case review with no obligation and remain committed to protecting the rights of patients who reportedly suffered Fosamax femur fractures while taking the drug.
