Source sentences
Our findings demonstrated that teriparatide induced prolonged cartilage formation at the graft-host junction at 4 weeks, which led to enhanced trabeculated bone callus formation and remarkable graft-host integration at 6-weeks.

To address this, we investigated the effects of daily systemic injections of 40 μg/kg teriparatide (recombinant human parathyroid hormone) on the healing of devitalized allografts used to reconstruct critical femoral defects (4mm) in C57Bl/6 mice.
The femurs were evaluated at 4 and 6 weeks using micro CT, histology, and torsion testing.
