Abstract

Androgen hormones serve a variety of roles, including determining and maintaining sexual traits. The effects of Anabolic Androgen Steroids (AAS) like oxandrolone on body composition and muscle mass development are intriguing. We provide a case of a 38-year-old woman who was treated with oxandrolone for multiple fractures and a current right ischiotibial injury, indicating that androgen steroid medication may aid in the recovery of bone and tendon-muscle health in injuries. The improvement in pain was significantly relevant, allowing the patient to return to her normal activities.
