Background: Teriparatide (recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34) is increasingly used for the treatment of severe osteoporosis because it stimulates bone formation and may potentially enhance fracture healing. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of teriparatide versus a bisphosphonate on radiographic outcomes in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).
Methods: A total of 98 patients undergoing non-operative treatment for recent single-level OVCF were reviewed retrospectively.
