Skeletal effects of combined bisphosphonates treatment and parathyroidectomy in osteoporotic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

Introduction Bone loss caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an indication for parathyroidectomy (PTX). However, whether adding bisphosphonates would be superior to PTX alone to increase bone mass remains unclear. We thus aimed to compare the skeletal effects of the combination treatment of bisphosphonates and PTX with PTX alone. Materials and methods In this retrospective analysis, bone mineral density (BMD) changes after 1 year of...
