The Effect of Bolus Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Distal Radius Fracture Healing: A Randomized Controlled Trial using HR ‐pQCT

In conclusion, the bolus equivalent of 700  U/day vitamin D3 supplementation in a Western postmenopausal population does not improve distal radius fracture healing and an equivalent dose of 1,800  IU/day may be detrimental in restoring bone stiffness during the first 12 weeks of fracture healing.
