We analyzed the cortical bone effects of teriparatide treatment in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who had previously received long-term alendronate (ALN) therapy or were treatment naïve (TN).
Tetracycline-labeled paired iliac crest biopsies obtained from 29 ALN-pretreated and 16 TN women were evaluated for dynamic histomorphometric parameters of bone formation at the periosteal, endocortical and intracortical bone compartments, before and after 24months of teriparatide treatment.
