Vitamin D Optimization Can Help Prevent Post-Joint Replacement Infection/Fractures/Complications
Vitamin D optimization can play a crucial role in preventing infections, fractures, and complications after hip or knee replacement surgery. Studies suggest that maintaining healthy Vitamin D levels supports bone strength, reduces inflammation, and promotes better post-surgical recovery.
At the Institute of Eternal Youth Aesthetics & Wellness in Winter Haven, we offer comprehensive lab testing, high-quality supplementation, and IV vitamin therapy to help you prepare for your procedure and optimize your overall wellness.
Studies suggest taking a vitamin D supplement may help prevent infection, fractures, and other complications following hip or knee replacement surgery.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, which strengthens bones, and may reduce inflammation, both of which are factors in recovering from joint replacement surgery.
Linda Russell, MD, Director of Perioperative Medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City, said, “It makes a lot of sense that if you’re going to have an orthopedic procedure, if you’re going to have a joint replacement, you would like to ensure that the patient’s getting sufficient calcium and vitamin D preoperatively, both to promote bone and muscle health, because you don’t want patients to fall postoperatively. And vitamin D level has been tied to an increased rate of falls [if it is low].”
