Abstract

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. Closed fracture treatment avoids any bias introduced by surgical manipulations. Teriparatide’s effect on callus formation was monitored during the first 4 weeks from fracture. Callus evolution was determined by histomorphometric and microhardness assessment. Daily administration of 40 μg/kg of teriparatide accelerated callus mineralization from day 9 onward without significant increase of sizes, and at day 15 the microhardness properties of treated callus were similar to those of bone tissue. Teriparatide considerably improved callus consolidation in the very early phases of bone healing.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
