A Fosamax lawsuit may be an option for patients suffering thighbone fractures, as it has been reported that the osteoporosis medication may be associated with a risk of unusual femur fractures. The thighbone is among the strongest bones in the body, and femur fractures are typically seen in those involved in car crashes, falls from heights or other accidents in which a great deal of force is applied. Patients who have allegedly developed Fosamax femur fractures while taking the drug, however, were said to be engaged in low-impact activity, such as ascending stairs or walking across a room, when their thigh bone broke.
By building bone density, Fosamax and other bisphosphonates work to prevent fractures in osteoporosis patients and those at risk for developing the disease. However, it has been alleged that long-term use of the drug can adversely impact the femur bones. Fosamax can allegedly harden the bones outer layer of cells, inhibiting them from being replenishing through normal bone remodeling. Consequently, small fractures may accrue, causing a spontaneous femur fracture without any real trauma.
Patients who have claimed to develop Fosamax thigh fractures while taking the drug may have legal recourse to seek compensation for damages. To learn more about Fosamax lawsuits and to receive a free evaluation of your claim, visit Class Action.org today. The Fosamax lawsuit attorneys working with the site are providing this initial consultation at no cost and remain committed to patients who allege they suffered a femur or thighbone fracture while taking this drug.
