Comparative Study
The effects of teriparatide on acceleration of bone healing following atypical femoral fracture: comparison between daily and weekly administration.
We compared the effectiveness of promoting bone healing between two teriparatide preparations for atypical femoral fracture (AFF). A total of 45 AFFs were included in this study, and we compared the duration of bone union. Teriparatide administered by daily injection enhanced bone union more than weekly administration in complete AFFs.
