Teriparatide (TPTD) improves bone mass and microstructure resulting in reduced risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. However, hip bone mineral density improvements are modest and there are no data confirming that TPTD reduces hip fracture risk. To study the effects of TPTD on the proximal femur, we performed a double-blind trial of TPTD vs placebo (PBO) in patients with osteoarthritis from whom femoral neck (FN) samples were obtained at total hip replacement (THR) surgery.
