At 78 weeks, BMD increased significantly more with teriparatide compared to risedronate at the LS (+11.08% versus +6.45%; p < 0.001) and FN (+1.96% versus -1.19%; p = 0.003), with no significant between-group difference in TH BMD.

We present final results of a study comparing teriparatide 20 μg every day (QD) with risedronate 35 mg once per week (QW) started within 2 weeks after surgery for a pertrochanteric hip fracture.
Patients with BMD T-score ≤ -2.0 and 25OHD ≥9.2 ng/mL were randomized to receive 26-week double-dummy treatment plus calcium and vitamin D, followed by 52-week open-label treatment with the same assigned active drug.
Totally, 224 patients were randomized; 171 (teriparatide: 86) contributed to the efficacy analyses (mean ± SD age: 77 ± 7.7 years, 77% females).
Primary endpoint was change from baseline in lumbar spine (LS) BMD at 78 weeks.
