It has been widely reported that vitamin D (vit D) affects preoperative, postoperative, and long-term outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our aim was to study vit D trajectory after TKA and compare effects of oral versus intramuscular (IM) supplementation in insufficient patients and assess its effects on immediate functional recovery in the first 2 weeks after TKA.
