Abstract
Traumatologic surgery represents the principal approach in complicated lesions. Currently, the efficacy of pharmacological therapies is fairly limited. Cyclic administration of intravenous biphosphonates is the most effective approach to achieve symptomatic improvement and to lower the risk of fractures, although more evidence from well-designed randomized clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of these treatments is still required. We present a case of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone in a 19-year-old male.
