Abstract: In recent years several reports of atypical fracture (AFF) of the femur occurring in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients, on long term bisphosphonate therapy, are noted in the literature. In comparison only, few cases of these type of fractures occurring in patients, on concomitant glucocorticoid and bisphosphonate medication, are reported. Here, we are reporting one such case belonging to this sub-group.
