NCT ID NCT04564625
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether vitamin D levels affect how well broken bones heal in young adults aged 18 to 25. Researchers measured vitamin D at the time of injury and tracked healing for up to a year. The goal was to understand if low vitamin D is linked to slower healing or complications like nonunion (when a bone fails to heal).
