The retrospective case-control study was designed to assess fracture healing in patients treated with stimulant drugs and matched controls.

Results showed that methylphenidate and MAS significantly reduced bone healing by approximately 20% following distal radius fractures in these children. The data also suggested that duration of psychostimulant use played a role in bone healing; the longer the treatment (1-5 years), the lower the bone density was observed (by approximately 52%) as compared to controls (no medication). However, subjects taking these drugs for longer than 5 years did not show a significant difference. Our results suggested that children taking psychostimulants for up to 5 years had slower bone healing following distal radius fractures.

Children with CP are at risk for fragility fractures secondary to low bone mineral density, and although bisphosphonates are prescribed for the treatment of children with bone fragility, there is limited information on long-term bone impact and safety. Children with CP usually present overtubulated bones, and the thickening of cortical bone by pamidronate treatment can potentially further narrow the medullary canal. Our purpose was to report bone alterations attributable to pamidronate therapy that impact orthopedic care in children with CP. The study consisted of 41 children with CP treated with pamidronate for low bone mineral density from 2006 to 2020. Six children presented unique bone deformities and unusual radiologic features attributed to pamidronate treatment, which affected their orthopedic care. The cases included narrowing of the medullary canal and sclerotic bone, atypical femoral fracture, and heterotopic ossification. Treatment with bisphosphonate reduced the number of fractures from 101 in the pretreatment period to seven in the post-treatment period ( P < 0.001). In conclusion, children with CP treated with bisphosphonate have a reduction in low-energy fractures; however, some fractures still happen, and pamidronate treatment can lead to bone alterations including medullary canal narrowing with sclerotic bone and atypical femoral fractures. In very young children, failure to remodel may lead to thin, large femoral shafts with cystic medullary canals. More widespread use of bisphosphonates in children with CP may make these bone alterations more frequent.
