Summary
Teriparatide is a potent osteoporosis medication that helps prevent fractures, however, the investigators know little about its effect on the hip. The investigators will evaluate hip bone samples from patients treated with teriparatide before undergoing hip replacement. The information will help us understand how teriparatide might help reduce hip fracture risk.
