Experimental stimulation of bone healing with teriparatide: histomorphometric and microhardness analysis in a mouse model of closed fracture.

Fracture consolidation is a crucial goal to achieve as early as possible, but pharmacological stimulation has been neglected so far. Teriparatide has been considered for this purpose for its anabolic properties. We set up a murine model of closed tibial fracture on which different doses of teriparatide were tested.
