Retrospective cohort study.
Thirty-two patients with PLO who presented with multiple vertebral fractures to a tertiary institution between 2007 and 2015 were included.
Changes in BMD at the lumbar spine (LSBMD) and proximal femur after 12 months of daily subcutaneous injections of 20 μg TPTD (n = 27) were assessed.
Subjects who rejected the TPTD treatment were used as controls (n = 5).
