Our study demonstrated that low-dose vitamin D supplementation (<1,001 IU) was beneficial for vitamin D-sufficient TKA patients to achieve higher levels and maintain vitamin D sufficiency. Vitamin D-deficient TKA patients benefitted from medium-to-high dose supplementation (1,001 to 5,000+), but only 33.7% achieved vitamin D repletion. This work highlights the need to continue vitamin D surveillance postoperatively and the need to continue vitamin D repletion.
