**Dr. Knobeloch provided this clarification on a question she answered during the live program:
"There is a small risk of atypical femur fracture with bisphosphonate use but it's about 1/1000 patients. We don't know why this occurs, it's possible there are mitigating variables that put patients at risk for this who already need osteoporosis medication.
I would say the risk of fracture from osteoporosis outweighs the chance of fracture from the medication but it should be a shared decision between patient and physician."
