Stress Fractures and Vitamin D Supplementation

In this video, Dr. Cris Beiro discusses bone stress injuries (BSI) in athletes, which occur when microtrauma outpaces the bone's ability to heal. He covers the diagnosis, management, and prevention of BSIs, highlighting that they are a spectrum of injury, from periostitis to a complete fracture. Dr. Beiro identifies key risk factors such as being a female athlete, extremes of BMI, and rapid increases in training load. He also explains the importance of nutrition, specifically mentioning that Vitamin D and calcium deficiencies can be contributing factors. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE here:    / @uoanjortho   for more educational videos on orthopaedic conditions and procedures.
