Effect of teriparatide on improving fracture union in osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Key Points

• Fracture union in osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures improves with teriparatide treatment, indicating enhanced recovery.
• The analysis revealed reduced union time and complications related to fractures when teriparatide is applied.
• Meta-analysis conducted on multiple studies assessing teriparatide's effects on fracture union in patients with osteoporosis.
• Caution is warranted due to the small sample sizes and limited evidence which may influence the conclusions drawn.
