Intermittent Parathyroid Hormone Enhances Cancellous Osseointegration of a Novel Murine Tibial Implant

Conclusions:
iPTH increased osseointegration, cancellous mass, and the strength of the bone-implant interface.

Clinical Relevance:
Our murine model is an excellent platform on which to study biological enhancement of cancellous osseointegration.
