Abstract
Atypical femur fractures secondary to bisphosphonate use are often complicated by nonunion, which often results in progressive varus collapse, femoral head and neck bone loss, and eventual implant failure. We present a technique that uses orthogonal, dual plating of the proximal femur in addition to biologic augmentation for the management of these challenging fractures.
