The Relationship Between Time Until Full Weight Bearing After Hip Fractures and Vitamin D Levels in Patients Aged 50 Years and Above.

Introduction Hip fractures are common in the elderly, especially with vitamin D deficiency. Currently, there is a paucity of case-control studies regarding the relationship between the time until full weight bearing of hip fractures and vitamin D levels in Saudi Arabia. Our aim is to determine time until full weight bearing of hip fractures in patients with vitamin D deficiency compared with normal vitamin D in the age of 50 and above.
