Teriparatide is a recombinant form of the biologically active component of Parathyroid hormone. It has been shown to increase bone mass and prevent fractures in osteoporotic bone. It is licensed by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Osteoporosis. Over the last decade, a growing body of evidence has accumulated suggesting a role for Teriparatide in the management of fractures. Studies in both normal and delayed healing models have shown improvement in callus volume and mineralisation, bone mineral content, rate of successful union and strength at fracture sites. However most of these results have been derived from animal studies. The majority of this research on humans has comprised low level evidence, with few randomised controlled trials, many case reports and case series. Nevertheless, the results from these studies seem to support research from animal models. This has led to a growing number of clinicians using Teriparatide ?off license? to treat fractures and non-unions in their patients. This review presents a critical appraisal of the current evidence supporting the use of Teriparatide for fracture healing, delayed unions and non unions and in the setting of osteoporotic fractures, the studies producing this evidence and their transferability to human beings.
