(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 03, 2011 ) New York, NY – A Fosamax femur fractures lawsuit may be an option for patients who developed thigh or leg fractures while taking the drug. Reportedly, Fosamax and other bisphosphonates have been linked to a risk of atypical fractures of the thigh, and due to the manufacturer’s failure to warn of Fosamax femur fractures, legal recourse may be available to patients who developed this side effect. If you or a loved one has suffered a Fosamax femur fracture of the thigh, hip or leg while taking the drug, visit http://www.classaction.org/fosamax.html and complete the form on the form on the right for a no cost, no obligation review of your claim.
Fosamax is prescribed to treat and prevent osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become thin and weak. A type of bisphosphonate drug, Fosamax intends to prevent fractures by building bone density; however, long-term treatment with the drug can reportedly have an adverse effect on the femur bones. One theory suggests that the medication slows down the bone turnover rate. As a result, micro-fractures can accumulate, making some women more susceptible to femur fractures. Reportedly, Fosamax thigh fractures occur without any real trauma, with most developing from a fall from standing height or less.
Fosamax femur fractures can result in severe pain and an inability to move the leg, with most broken thighbones requiring surgical treatment and up to six months for healing. Fosamax patients who pursue legal recourse, however, may be able to recover the cost of medical expenses, lost wages and other damages resulting from their Fosamax femur fractures.
