    Summary · context
    In an open study, 37 women who had undergone cementless total hip arthroplasty after accidental hip fractures were treated twice daily with 200 IU salmon calcitonin nasal spray for 12 months.
    Summary · context
    A parallel group of 38 women with a similar clinical status in terms of hip fractures and cementless total hip arthroplasty were treated with only one bag of 1000 mg calcium plus 880 IU vitamin D daily through the treatment period.

    Summary
    Additionally, calcitonin promoted the repair of hip fractures and, as a coincidence finding, was associated with a significantly reduced rate of refractures as well as periprosthetic ossifications.

  3. 03HumanNon-randomized trialEfficacy outcome

    In women after hip arthroplasty, calcitonin was associated, as a coincidence finding, with a significantly reduced rate of refractures.

    In plain wordsIn women after hip replacement, calcitonin was linked to fewer repeat fractures than calcium and vitamin D alone, which the authors called a coincidence finding.

    In women after hip arthroplasty, calcitonin was associated, as a coincidence finding, with a significantly reduced rate of periprosthetic ossifications.
