Would you consider teriparatide in a postmenopausal woman with normal DEXA who had a traumatic humerus fracture three months prior with surgical intervention and plain Xrays showing only partial healing?   

At NYU, we have a multi-disciplinary approach to fracture non-unions and have used teriparatide in that setting usually at the request of our fracture surgeons. Those patients are not truly comparable to the patient described in your question as the non-union patients' fractures occurred significant...

I have used Teriparatide in an active lady in her 100s who sustained a pelvic fracture and was in a lot of pain. The pain went away in 3 months and to my surprise, the fracture healed in 6 months.
