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.
