The present study contends that the long-term consumption of bisphosphonates causes not only subtrochanteric and femoral shaft fractures but also pathological fractures at other musculoskeletal sites. This report presents a rare case of alendronate-induced pathological metatarsal fracture in a 59-year-old female with a history of cuboid fracture following a twisting with abnormal Bone Mineral Density (BMD) (T score: −3.5; lumbar spine and −2.6; proximal femur). }, URL = {http://jros.iums.ac.ir/article-1-2043-en.html}, eprint = {http://jros.iums.ac.ir/article-1-2043-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Research in Orthopedic Science}, doi = {10.32598/JROSJ.6.4.67}, year = {2019} }
