| Abstract |
|
Fracture healing is the ongoing process but it is often delayed in elderly patients. Because the fractures in elderly patients
with osteoporosis are severely comminuted and their quality of bone is poor, the associated delay of fracture healing
is likely to lead to surgical failure. Recently, as a way to promote healing fractures, intermittent systemic parathyroid
hormone treatment has been actively researched. Although the effect of parathyroid hormone, which is demonstrated
by animal experiments, is well known, there are not many clinical applications. The authors report 2 cases which had
the time-shortened callus formation by intermittent parathyroid hormone (teriparatide) administration after surgical
treatment, maximum preservation of periosteum as possible, in elderly patients who have supracondylar fracture on
distal femur. |
