A Case Report on Teriparatide Treatment in Non-Uniting Fracture | Chapter 19 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

  The goal of this case report is to describe the Indian experience with Teriparatide in 5 cases of delayed unions and non-unions, as well as in the setting of osteoporotic fractures. Fracture healing issues cause the rehabilitation process to be delayed, which has an influence on quality of life. Both society and patients have a financial burden as a result of the accompanying costs. No systemic treatment for fracture healing has been approved to yet. Teriparatide is a synthetic polypeptide hormone made up of the human parathyroid hormone fragments 1–34. A rising amount of research suggests that it can speed up fracture healing and mend non-unions, in addition to its well-known signal of osteoporosis. Our case report's main finding is that teriparatide is a potential medication not only for treating osteoporosis but also for accelerating fracture repair.

Assessing the Treatment of Nonuniting Fracture ICNF with Teriparatide in Young Adult Osteopenic Male | Chapter 18 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

  We present a case of a femur fracture in the intracapsular neck in a young adult osteopenic patient who had a nonunion and early symptoms of avascular necrosis despite surgical intervention. After a diagnosis of nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral neck, teriparatide was given in two monthly doses. Without further surgical intervention, a 90 percent effective union was obtained in two months, and no adverse effects connected to the administration of teriparatide were noted. Our case study demonstrates that teriparatide can be used instead of surgery in the case of ICNF nonunion with early symptoms of avascular necrosis.
