Supraacetabular and femoral head stress fracture during fluoride treatment

D van Linthoudt et al. Gerontology. 1987.

Abstract

A woman treated with fluoride for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis presented 1 year later with an unusual localized supraacetabular followed by a same-sided femoral head fracture. Fluoride was increased in serum and urine. Transiliac bone biopsy revealed typical bone fluorosis with elevated trabecular bone fluoride.
