Low Vitamin D Levels Linked to Increased ACL Injury Risk and Impaired Postoperative Recovery

Stronger Bones. Healthier Joints. Faster Recovery.

At Orthohealing Center, we believe that optimal healing starts with understanding the root causes of injury. Recent findings from a large-scale database analysis of over 328,000 individuals have shed new light on the critical role that vitamin D plays in both preventing and recovering from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Essential for injury prevention and effective healing, Vitamin D supports musculoskeletal strength by promoting calcium absorption, regulating inflammation, and enhancing immune function

Key Findings:

• Vitamin D deficiency was linked to an 81% increase in the risk of ACL tears
• Patients with low vitamin D levels were 28% more likely to require revision ACL surgery
• Poor vitamin D status was also associated with higher soft-tissue failure rates in both rotator cuff and ACL grafts

What This Means for You

Recovery and performance are deeply connected to what’s happening inside the body. Whether you’re a professional athlete or lead an active lifestyle, ensuring adequate vitamin D levels could be the difference between long-term joint health and recurring injury. And for patients undergoing ACL surgery, maintaining healthy vitamin D levels may promote more reliable graft integration and muscle recovery.
