Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
-Spinal fusion rate at 1 year, assessed by computed tomography (CT) scan using the Brantigan-Steffee-Fraser (BSF) criteria and Bridwell criteria for fusion.Timepoint: one year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical outcomes: ODI and VAS scores, SF-36 (for overall health-related quality of life), or the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire for lumbar spine patients, to capture more comprehensive patient-reported outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months post surgery -Monitor DEXA scan: results for changes in bone mineral density (BMD) across groups to evaluate the effectiveness of calcium and vitamin D3 in comparison to teriparatide and combination therapy. -Radiographic outcomes: Assessment of other complications (screw loosening, cage subsidence, cage back out adjacent vertebral fractures) through CT and X-rays -Adverse events: Frequency and severity of any side effects or complications related to teriparatide Timepoint: one year
