Background and Objectives: Background: Deficiency of Vitamin D is very common in orthopaedic patients and leads to decreased Bone mineral density, slow healing of Fractures and higher surgical site infection rates. the effects of vitamin D supplementation on the correction of deficiency and recovery time as well as minimizing complications following orthopaedic procedures involving fractures are explored.
METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional descriptive study was planned at T.H.Q. Hospital Arifwala and 144 patients from this age group were included. Survey questions and chart information were used to obtain data, primarily concerning patient vitamin D intake before and after operations. The study therefore compared maintenance regimens and dosing frequencies this being daily and high doses to sample vitamin D sufficiency.
RESULTS: It has been established that preoperative vitamin D levels were extremely low in all groups, with as few as 3 ng/ml Besides, post-operative replenishment has shown noteworthy changes with some age groups achieving levels up to 93.56 ng/ml. A high dose of vitamin D supplementation is more effective as compared to the low dose group as far as the recovery period is concerned and low incidence of nonunion, reoperations, infection and implant failures.
CONCLUSION: Clinicians should use the information reported here to modify vitamin D supplementation schedules for patients; moreover, multidisciplinary approaches, including environmental and dietary recommendations as well as vitamin D supplementation, should be used in the management of vitamin D deficiency.
