Why the study?
The role of calcitonin in decreasing pain intensity, promoting early mobilization, and aiding fracture healing in hip fracture patients remains under debate.
Does calcitonin improve fracture healing and reduce pain in patients with surgically treated intertrochanteric fractures?
Does calcitonin improve fracture healing and reduce pain in patients with surgically treated intertrochanteric fractures?
Calcitonin administration significantly improves early fracture healing scores and reduces pain in patients with surgically treated intertrochanteric fractures.

Calcitonin was associated with faster union and less pain post-fixation; leaves open routine use pending randomized trials.
