Effectiveness of parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogues on fracture healing: a meta-analysis

ConclusionsMeta-analysis of published data supports the use of PTH analogues to improve functional outcomes but not fracture healing rate or pain for different fracture types. The evidence for PTH analogue use in fracture healing is less clear in younger, non-osteoporotic patient populations. Trial design was heterogeneous and of limited quality, justifying further original trials.
