Abstrakt: Nearly half of adult fracture patients are vitamin D deficient (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels <20 ng/mL). Many surgeons advocate prescribing vitamin D supplements to improve fracture healing outcomes; however, data supporting the effectiveness of vitamin D 3 supplements to improve acute fracture healing are lacking. We tested the effectiveness of vitamin D 3 supplementation for improving tibia and femur fracture healing. We conducted a single-center, double - blinded phase II screening randomized controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up. Patients aged 18-50 years receiving an intramedullary nail for a tibia or femoral shaft fracture were randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive (i) 150,000 IU loading dose vitamin D 3 at injury and 6 weeks ( n  = 27); (ii) 4000 IU vitamin D 3 daily ( n  = 24); (iii) 600 IU vitamin D 3 daily ( n  = 24); or (iv) placebo ( n  = 27). Primary outcomes were clinical fracture healing (Function IndeX for Trauma [FIX-IT]) and radiographic fracture healing (Radiographic Union Score for Tibial fractures [RUST]) at 3 months. One hundred two patients with a mean age of 29 years (standard deviation 8) were randomized. The majority were male (69%), and 56% were vitamin D 3 deficient at baseline . Ninety-nine patients completed the 3-month follow-up. In our prespecified comparisons, no clinically important or statistically significant differences were detected in RUST or FIX-IT scores between groups when measured at 3 months and over 12 months. However, in a post hoc comparison, high doses of vitamin D 3 were associated with improved clinical fracture healing relative to placebo at 3 months (mean difference [MD] 0.90, 80% confidence interval [CI], 0.08 to 1.79; p  = 0.16) and within 12 months (MD 0.89, 80% CI, 0.05 to 1.74; p  = 0.18). The study was designed to identify potential evidence to support the effectiveness of vitamin D 3 supplementation in improving acute fracture healing. Vitamin D 3 supplementation, particularly high doses, might modestly improve acute tibia or femoral shaft fracture healing in healthy adults, but confirmatory studies are required. The Vita-Shock trial was awarded the Orthopaedic Trauma Association's (OTA) Bovill Award in 2020.
