In order to study the role of calcium-regulating hormones during callus formation in elderly
patients, serum levels of parathormone (PTH), calcitonin (a), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-OH-
D], 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1, 25 (OH) 2 D], 24, 25-di-hydroxyvitamin D [24, 25 (OH) 2 D],
and calcium (Ca) were determined in 41 patients with fractures of long bones, primarily hip
fractures. The parameters were measured on admission and after eight weeks. There were
almost no changes in hormone serum levels during bone repair, except for a decrease in …
