Abstract
Atypical femoral fractures are rare. They are well described in patients with prolonged bisphosphonate use. The periprosthetic form without bisphosphonate intake appears to be exceptional and may lead to mechanical complications (nonunion, secondary displacement) if the difficulties of bone healing are not anticipated. We report here two cases of atypical femoral fractures without bisphosphonate use and the resulting implications for surgical fixation.
