Parathyroid Hormone 1-34(Teriparatide) Treatment in Pelvic Insufficiency Fractures: A Report of Two Cases

ABSTRACT

As a result of aging population, the incidence of pelvic insufficiency fracture has been increasing. Pain-related immobility caused by pelvic insufficiency fractures may result in a serious dependency and high mortality with preexisting comorbidities. We present two cases of pelvic insufficiency fracture in elderly patients which had good clinical outcome by parathyroid hormone 1-34(teriparatide) treatment as well as a literature review.
