A 68-year-old woman who had received long-term alendronate therapy presented to her physician with prodromal pain in the right anterolateral thigh. This radiograph was diagnostic for an insufficiency fracture (white arrow). This was missed by the referring physician and radiologist and the woman presented to us with a low-energy subtrochanteric fracture at the site indicated by the arrow.
