Teriparatide is a drug that is used to increase bone remodeling, formation, and density for the treatment of osteoporosis. We present three cases of patients with a femoral insufficiency fracture. The patients were administered teripatatide in an attempt to treat severe osteoporosis and to enhance fracture healing. We found several radiographic features around the femoral fractures during the h...

While the optimal treatment concept of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is still in debate, several adjunct therapies have been introduced. Among these adjunctive measures, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH, teriparatide) seems to be the most promising treatment modality. Several studies have presented the beneficial effect of short-term teriparatide; they have sh...

Periodontitis affects a large part of the general population in both Europe and the US, is an important cause of teeth loss and is often associated with systemic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, low birth weight and cardiovascular disease. An anabolic agent capable of inducing bone regeneration at the level of the oral cavity would be very useful in medical practice.Teriparatide, which con...

Prevalence of adynamic bone disease (ABD), characterized by low bone turnover and absence or a reduced number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, is increasing steadily over the last years. We present a dialysis patient, with recurrent bone fractures and biopsy-proven ABD, who was treated with teriparatide. Nine months after initiation of treatment, iPTH plasma levels increased to 520 pg/mL and a s...

We have read the recently published 2017 American College of Rheumatology Guideline for the Prevention and Treatment of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis (1), and applaud the committee's efforts, but have a number of areas of disagreement. Our main concern is that in adults at high risk for fracture, oral and then parenteral bisphosphonates are recommended over teriparatide in selecting drug ...

Background: Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) is secreted by parathyroid glands and controls the level of calcium in bones and kidney. PTH is a small polypeptide with 84 amino acids, but the first 34 amino acids of which are enough for hormone biological activity and can be used in the treatment of Osteoporosis. The expression efficiency of recombinant human parathyroid hormone rhPTH (1-34) or Teripara...

INTRODUCTION Along with the increase of osteoporotic patients in an aging society, complications in surgeries associated with osteoporosis are also increasing. In cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA), poor primary stability and subsequent initial loosening of the implant may be seen. CASE REPORT The patient, a 75-year-old Asian woman with a history of osteoporosis, underwent cementless TK...
