Overview

• Vitamin D supplementation effects on bone health and injury risk in elite athletes require further research [1].
• A diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased odds of anterior cruciate ligament tears and reconstruction failure [2].
• Vitamin D status should be assessed in high-risk populations, such as athletes and military personnel, to guide preventive strategies for stress fractures [3].
• Educational initiatives and revised guidelines may have improved vitamin D prescription rates after fragility fracture, but awareness remains needed for older adults [4].
• Vitamin D deficiency prevalence is higher among arthroplasty patients presenting in winter [5].
• Regular vitamin D supplementation significantly reduces the likelihood of deficiency in arthroplasty patients [5].
• Evidence suggests vitamin D may support tendon healing, particularly in rotator cuff repair, but studies are low quality and limited to a single tendon group [6].
• Vitamin D deficiency is associated with adverse body composition in adolescents [7].
• Targeted interventions are needed to optimize musculoskeletal and metabolic health in adolescents regarding vitamin D status [7].
• Preoperative vitamin D screening and potential supplementation strategies are important for patients receiving hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia who have vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL [8].
• Preoperative vitamin D supplementation is a cost-effective intervention in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair [9].
• Nonselective vitamin D supplementation appears more cost-effective than selective supplementation in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair due to lower costs compared to serum assays [9].
• Hand grip strength, vitamin D status, and diets are predictors of bone health in 6–12 year old school children [23].
• Hand grip strength, vitamin D status, and diets might be considered diagnostic non-invasive predictors of bone health for clinical use in epidemiological contexts [23].

• Determining preoperative vitamin D levels and providing supplementation if deficient may be beneficial for preventing delayed wound healing after open carpal tunnel release surgery [10].
• Administering an oral 300,000 U single-dose vitamin D regimen to correct deficiency can positively impact outcomes following primary total joint arthroplasty [11].
• Further research is necessary to elucidate the direct role of vitamin D in rotator cuff tear pathogenesis and its impact on clinical outcomes after rotator cuff surgery and total shoulder arthroplasty [12].
• A nanofiber-based vitamin D sheet was compared to vitamin D supplementation for tendon-to-bone healing and muscle regeneration in a rabbit rotator cuff tear model [13].
• Supplementation with vitamin D 10,000 IU/day for 8 weeks can increase vitamin D levels >50 ng/dl to optimally act as an immunomodulator in tuberculosis spondylitis patients [14].
