    Summary
    Teriparatide therapy significantly increased HHS (p = 0.02) and decreased VAS pain scores (p = 0.008).

    Summary · context
    Between 2014 and 2017, we retrospectively assessed 112 patients who underwent closed reduction and internal fixation with proximal femoral nail (PFN) for unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
    Summary · context
    These patients were compared with 52 patients for whom the same device was used and a daily subcutaneous injection of teriparatide (1-34 PTH, Forsteo®) was prescribed postoperatively (group II).
