Fig. 3
The migration pattern of the femoral components. The values are the mean for the teriparatide and control groups on follow-up intervals immediately after surgery and at 6 and 12 weeks and 6 and 12 months. The subsidence of the stem was significantly decreased in the teriparatide group compared to the control group at each time point. The distal migration of the stem reached a plateau phase at 6 months and 12 months post-operatively in both groups. *p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test
