Long-term use of Fosamax and other bisphosphonates used for osteoporosis have reportedly been linked to atypical fractures of the femur (thighbone), which is one of the strongest bones in the body. It typically takes a great deal of force to break a thighbone, an injury often seen in car accident victims. However, patients with Fosamax thigh fracture claims allege that they were engaging in low-impact activity, such as descending stairs, when their femur broke spontaneously.
Prescribed to prevent fractures in osteoporosis sufferers and to build bone density, Fosamax, when used long-term, can allegedly have an adverse impact on the femur bones. Specifically, the drug can reportedly harden the cells of the bones outer layer, inhibiting these cells from being replenished during normal bone remodeling. As a result, tiny fractures may accrue, resulting in a possible Fosamax fracture of the femur, spontaneously and without any trauma.
Patients who developed femur fractures while taking this osteoporosis drug may be eligible for a Fosamax lawsuit. Potentially, a Fosamax femur fracture lawsuit could provide users the opportunity to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages resulting from their broken thigh bone.
