Pathological Femoral Shaft Fracture With McCune-Albright Syndrome With Hyperthyroidism Managed With Oral Alendronate: A Case Report.

Abstract

McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a complex endocrinopathy with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and café-au-lait spots. Pathological femoral shaft fracture along with MAS is not a common occurrence. Bisphosphonates can be used for the management of pathological fractures. A seven-year-old male child presented with pathological femoral shaft fracture with MAS (café-au-lait macules and hyperthyroidism). The patient was managed conservatively with closed reduction along with hip spica and oral alendronate. Fracture consolidation occurred within six to eight weeks with improvement in bone pains. Oral alendronate can be used as an adjuvant to conservative therapy for pathological fracture in MAS in children.
