Abstract

BACKGROUND: Radial distal fractures are common in older postmenopausal women and fractures are caused by low-energy trauma. Vitamin D deficiency is common in societies with, especially where UV exposure is reduced. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on functional outcomes and handgrip strength in women aged 50 years and older with vitamin D deficiency.

METHODS: For this purpose, 20 conservatively treated female patients aged 50 years and over who were admitted to our clinic after trauma and diagnosed as distal radius fracture were evaluated. Functional results were evaluated by DASH and Gartland Werley scores. Radiological evaluation and measurements were made on the latest radiographs. Handgrip strength was measured with the JAMAR hand dynamometer. The values obtained were evaluated according to whether or not patients received vitamin D supplementation.

RESULTS: The mean DASH f / s scores of the patients with vitamin D supplementation were 8.36 ± 9.83; In cases without vitamin D supplementation, it was 19.50 ± 12.17. There was a statistically significant difference between DASH f / s scores (p = 0.034).

CONCLUSIONS: It has been shown that vitamin D supplementation positively affects functional scores after distal radius fracture in women over 50 years of age with vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency. We recommend vitamin D supplementation in these patients.
