Core Tip	This case report highlights the successful use of teriparatide, a recombinant form of parathyroid hormone, in a patient with a four-year history of nonunion following a humeral fracture. This is the first documented case of teriparatide being used to treat nonunion of such prolonged duration. The report underscores the role of teriparatide in bone regeneration and repair, demonstrating its potential as a valuable non-surgical treatment option when conventional therapies have failed.
