After parathyroidectomy, patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have early, marked, and sustained recovery of osteitis fibrosa cystica. Early (1 week) bone mineral density increments of > 100%/y hint at the skeleton's ability to promptly restore itself. Densitometric recovery is prompt at cancellous (lumbar spine), but not at cortical (forearm) bone sites. Contour defects and bony tumors persist, and may need corrective osteotomies.
