The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), bone mineral density (BMD), and concentration of bone turnover markers before, 6, and 12 months after surgery were evaluated. X-ray and three-dimensional computed tomography scans were performed at 6 and 12 months postoperatively to assess interbody fusion.Results: The number of patients in the TPTD and ZOL groups was 29 and 38 patients, respectively. The VAS and ODI scores in both groups were significantly reduced at 6 and 12 months after TLIF. Compared with that of baseline, the lumbar spine BMD of TPTD patients increased significantly from 0.716± 0.137 g/cm2 to 0.745± 0.124 g/cm2 and 0.795± 0.123 g/cm2 at 6 and 12 months, respectively, and was significantly higher than that of the ZOL group at 12 months (0.720± 0.128 g/cm2). The bone formation marker, P1NP, in the TPTD group increased significantly (145.48± 66.64 ng/mL and 119.55± 88.27 ng/mL) compared with baseline (44.67± 25.15 ng/mL) and in the ZOL group (28.82± 19.76 ng/mL and 29.94± 20.67 ng/mL) at 6 and 12 months, respectively. The fusion rates in the TPTD and ZOL groups were 57% and 45% at 6 months, without statistical significance. However, TPTD had a more statistically significant positive influence on fusion rate than ZOL at 12 months (86% vs 70%).Conclusion: TPTD was more efficient than ZOL in bone formation and spinal fusion in OP patients who underwent TLIF.Keywords: teriparatide, zoledronic acid, osteoporosis, TLIF
