Vitamin D3 correction improves painRole of Pre-operative Correction of Vitamin D3 Deficiency in Controlling Post-operative Bone Pain after Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty.
We explored the impact of vitamin D3 levels on bone pain that patients experience after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The study involved 240 participants who were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D status—some received treatment before surgery, some after, and others had normal levels to begin with.
By administering vitamin D3 in three doses, we aimed to see if correcting deficiencies could alleviate post-operative bone pain. Throughout the recovery period, we measured pain levels using the visual analog scale at various intervals after the surgery.
Our findings clearly demonstrated that patients who corrected their vitamin D3 deficiency before surgery reported significantly better pain control after the operation compared to those who were treated afterwards or those who started with adequate levels. This highlights the importance of testing and addressing vitamin D status prior to orthopedic procedures, showing that it is a modifiable risk factor affecting recovery.

Excellent vitamin D3. This will eliminate sun deficiency while also strengthening my bones, hair, immunity, and skin. The ingredients are high quality and natural, suitable for vegans. The dosage and absorption are effective, and the package lasts for an entire course. The vitamins have a pleasing, sweet taste. Everything matches the description and price. I’m very happy with it and will certainly reorder!
