Teriparatide has been known to aid in the treatment
of osteoporosis but its use in the management of
fracture disorders is poorly documented. This review
aims to show that teriparatide administration may
improve the healing process in fractures that fail to
unite after sustaining trauma. A total of 22 reported cases have been identifi ed from 2009 to 2017.
Teriparatide doses were given in a median duration
of 5.6 months with a median time to complete union
of 8.5 months. This review systematically summarizes all clinical case reports of non-union treated with
teriparatide for us to gain insight into its off-label use.
