Vitamin D deficiency significantly prolongs recovery time for children with fractures, with those having low levels taking 20 days longer to heal than their peers.
The importance of vitamin D in pediatric orthopedic care is critical, as deficiencies negatively impact both clinical and radiographic healing times in children.
Children undergoing surgical treatment with low vitamin D levels experience additional healing delays, emphasizing the need for nutritional assessment in pediatric fracture cases.
This study underscores the necessity for parents and healthcare providers to ensure children maintain adequate vitamin D levels to promote optimal fracture recovery.
