Abstract Background The aim of the present study was to study longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in females over a 10-year period after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). Methods Twenty-three women, mean age 43.4 ± 8.7 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 44.6 ± 5.17 kg/m2 at baseline, were included. BMD, BMI, S-calcium, S-25(OH)-vitamin D, and fP-PTH were measured preoperatively and 2, 5, and 10 years postoperatively. Results Ten years after surgery, BMD of the spine and femoral neck decreased by 20% and 25%, respectively. Changes in serum levels of vitamin D, PTH, and calcium over the same period were small. Conclusion After LRYGB with subsequent massive weight loss, a large decrease in BMD of the spine and femoral neck was seen over a 10-year postoperative period. The fall in BMD largely occurred over the first 5 years after surgery.

Abstract Background/Aims  Vitamin D deficiency is associated with more severe presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism (PTHP) with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and reduced bone mineral density (BMD). We analyzed data to determine if vitamin D levels had any impact on PTH, serum calcium and BMD at diagnosis and 3 years, in patients being managed conservatively. Methods  Retrospective analysis of patients presenting with PHPT. Based on vitamin D level at diagnosis, patients were divided into two groups; vitamin D sufficient (≥ 50 nmol/L) and vitamin D insufficient (≤ 50 nmol/L). The two groups were compared for age, serum calcium and PTH levels at diagnosis and after mean follow up of 3 years. BMD at forearm and neck of femur (NOF) was only analyzed in the two groups at diagnosis, due to lack of 3 year’s data. Results  There were a total of 93 patients, 17 males, mean age 70; range 38-90. Mean vitamin D level was 73.39 nmol/L in sufficient group (n = 42) and 34.48 nmol/L in insufficient group (n = 40), (difference between means -38.91, 95% confidence interval -45.49 to -32.33, p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in age, serum calcium and PTH at the time of diagnosis. After three years, there was no significant difference in vitamin D levels between the two groups (mean vitamin D 72.17 nmol/L in sufficient group and 61.48 nmol/L in insufficient group). Despite rise in vitamin D level in insufficient group, no significant change was observed in this group in PTH and serum calcium levels. BMD was lower at both sites in vitamin D sufficient group and difference was statistically significant at NOF. Data were analyzed using unpaired t test and presented as mean ± SEM. Conclusion  50% of patients presenting with PHPT were vitamin D insufficient at diagnosis. Vitamin D was adequately replaced so that at 3 years there was no significant difference in vitamin D status in the two groups. Serum calcium and PTH were no different in the two groups at diagnosis and at three years, despite rise in vitamin D levels in the insufficient group. Interestingly, BMD was lower at forearm and neck of femur in those with sufficient vitamin D levels and the difference was statistically significant at neck of femur. Our data show that vitamin D insufficiency does not have any significant impact on PTH and calcium levels and that vitamin D replacement is safe in PHPT and does not impact serum calcium and PTH levels in the short term. Lower BMD in those with adequate vitamin D levels is difficult to explain and needs further research. Disclosure  M. Khalid: None. V. Deshani: None. K. Jadoon: None.

Abstract Introduction: Teriparatide, a parathyroid hormone analog, is an important anabolic agent approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to increase bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium, phosphate, and active vitamin-D metabolites.The amino terminal peptide fragments of PTH has been known to increase bone mass and are being used in clinical practice for osteoporosis management (1). Current literature shows the efficacy of teriparatide in increasing bone density of lumbar spine and femoral neck, and decreasing the risk of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures both in postmenopausal women and men. It is also known to prevent fractures in patients with osteoporosis and promote healing of fractures (2). Case Description: A 79-year-old Hispanic female with history of osteopenia and major lumbar spine wedge compression fractures presented to our clinic for consultation. She was on ibandronate for the past four months and was having symptoms of pill esophagitis. Her last bone mineral density done on August 2017 revealed T-score of -2.5 at the lumbar spine, -1.5 at the left femoral neck, and 3.3% bone loss on the left femoral head. Rather than being started on teriparatide, zoledronic acid, or denosumab, she continued ibandronate along with calcium and vitamin D. Two months after the initial consultation, she sustained a traumatic fracture of the posterior arch and body of C2 bilaterally following a motor vehicle accident. There were discussions about starting anabolic treatment, as serial imaging did not show any significant improvement in the healing process despite the use of a collar. Two months after sustaining C2 fracture, she was started on teriparatide. Repeat cervical spine x-ray three months later showed complete healing of the C2 fracture. Discussion: There are a limited number of cases reported in regards to teriparatide induced healing of non-osteoporotic fractures (3). Our case is one of the very few reported to have shown complete radiographic and clinical healing of a traumatic, non-osteoporotic fracture after use of teriparatide for 12 weeks.
