The patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether they were treated with teriparatide (n = 13) or not (n = 16) before the surgery. In the teriparatide-treated group, patients received preoperative teriparatide therapy as either a daily (20 \u03bcg\/day, n = 7) or a weekly (56.5 \u03bcg\/week, n = 6) injection for a mean of 61.4 days and a minimum of 31 days. During surgery, the insertional torque was measured in 212 screws inserted from T-7 to L-5 and compared between the 2 groups. The correlation between the insertional torque and the duration of preoperative teriparatide treatment was also investigated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean insertional torque value in the teriparatide group was 1.28 \u00b1 0.42 Nm, which was significantly higher than in the control group (1.08 \u00b1 0.52 Nm, p &lt; 0.01). There was no significant difference between the daily and the weekly teriparatide groups with respect to mean insertional torque value (1.34 \u00b1 0.50 Nm and 1.18 \u00b1 0.43 Nm, respectively, p = 0.07).
