Abstract:
:Purpose. This meta-analysis is to assess the effectiveness of teriparatide in fracture healing and clinical function improvement of the osteoporotic patients. Methods. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane databases for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials comparing teriparatide to placebo, no treatment, or comparator interventions in the osteoporotic patients. Results. Five studies with 251 patients were included. Patients treated with teriparatide therapy had a significant shorter radiological fracture healing time compared with those in the control group (mean difference [MD] -4.54 days, 95% confidence interval [CI] -8.80 to -0.28). Stratified analysis showed that lower limb group had significant shorter healing time (MD -6.24 days, 95% CI -7.20 to -5.29), but upper limb group did not (MD -1 days, 95% CI -2.02 to 0.2). Patients treated with teriparatide therapy showed better functional outcome than those in the control group (standardized mean difference [SMD] -1.02, 95% CI -1.81 to -0.22). Patients with therapy duration over 4 weeks would have better functional outcome (SMD -1.68, 95% CI -2.07 to -1.29). Conclusions. Teriparatide is effective in accelerating fracture healing and improving functional outcome of osteoporotic women. However, more clinical studies are warranted in order to determine whether the results are applicable to males and the clinical indications for teriparatide after osteoporotic fractures.
