  1. 01HumanRandomized controlled trialEfficacy outcome

    In pelvic-fracture patients, teriparatide did not improve cortical bridging scores versus placebo at three months, including after covariate adjustment.

    Summary
    The intention to treat analysis showed no group difference in cortical bridging score, and 50% of fractures in TPTD-treated and 53% of fractures in placebo-treated patients were healed at 3 months, unchanged after adjustment for age, sacral fracture, and fracture displacement.
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    Pelvic fracture patients were randomized to blinded daily subcutaneous teriparatide (TPTD) or placebo to assess healing and functional outcomes over 3 months.
    Summary · context
    This randomized, placebo-controlled study enrolled 35 patients (women and men >50 years old) within 4 weeks of pelvic fracture and evaluated the effect of blinded TPTD vs placebo over 3 months on fracture healing.
  2. 02HumanRandomized controlled trialEfficacy outcome

    In pelvic-fracture patients, healed fractures at three months were similar with teriparatide and placebo.
