Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose: The objectives of this study were to assess the incidence of vitamin D deficiency in orthopaedic trauma patients, evaluate the safety and efficacy of a vitamin D supplementation protocol, and investigate the utility of vitamin D supplementation in reducing nonunions. Methods: Three hundred seventy patients with operative tibia and/or fibula fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Both overall and matched cohorts were analysed. Results: Ninety-eight per cent (n = 210) were found to have vitamin D insufficiency (serum 25(OH)D level < 30 ng/ml). There were no cases of vitamin D toxicity following vitamin D replacement. Median follow-up vitamin D level was 22.7 ng/mL. No statistical difference between union rates was found between either the two consecutive cohorts or matched cohorts. Conclusion: This vitamin D replacement protocol was a safe treatment for hypovitaminosis D, but post hoc analysis shows there would need to be over 1200 matched patients to achieve adequate power.
