title: Parathyroid hormone secretion after operative bone trauma.
abstract: Skeletal trauma in man (operations for scolioses and femoral shortening) results in a significant increase in parathyroid hormone secretion beginning the day after the operation and lasting for more than 1 week. A concurrent decrease in serum calcium, dependent on the postoperative lowering of serum albumin, was also observed.
