Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between vitamin D deficiency and distal biceps tendon injuries, finding that while vitamin D deficiency is linked to longer hospital stays and musculoskeletal issues, its direct connection to biceps injuries is unclear.
- The researchers hypothesize that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of distal biceps injuries but does not affect rates of surgery for these injuries.
- Results show that patients with vitamin D deficiency had a significantly higher incidence of distal biceps tendinopathy compared to controls, but this deficiency did not correlate with higher rates of surgical interventions, suggesting the importance of vitamin supplementation for injury prevention.
