Therapeutic Effect of Teriparatide for Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture in Elderly Female Patients.

Conclusion: Non-surgical treatment with teriparatide showed similar 12-month functional outcomes compared to surgical fixation with fusion. The additional vertebroplasty to teriparatide and surgical fixation with fusion were more helpful to improve short-term functional outcomes with structural restoration compared to teriparatide only.
