Fatigue fractures in military conscripts : A study on risk factors, diagnostics and long-term consequences Ruohola, Juha-Petri University of Helsinki, Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Helsinki University Central Hospital Centre of Military Medicine, Helsinki 2007-03-09 Doctoral dissertation (article-based) It seems likely that low vitamin D levels are related to fatigue fractures, and that an increasing trend exists between TRACP-5b bone resorption marker elevation and fatigue fracture incidence. Though seldom detected by plain radiography, fatigue fractures often underlie unclear lower leg stress-related pain occurring in the distal parts of the tibia. Femoral neck fatigue fractures, when displaced, lead to long-term morbidity in a high percentage of patients, whereas, when non-displaced, they do not predispose patients to subsequent adverse complications. Importantly, an educational intervention can diminish the incidence of fracture displacement by enhancing awareness and providing instructions for earlier diagnosis of fatigue fractures

According to peer-reviewed clinical research, inadequacies of vitamin D have been linked to chronic musculoskeletal pain of various types, muscle weakness or fatigue, fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatic disorders, osteoarthritis, hyperesthesia, migraine headaches, and other somatic complaints. It also has been implicated in the mood disturbances of chronic fatigue syndrome and seasonal affective disorder. Current best evidence demonstrates that supplemental vitamin D can help to resolve or alleviate chronic pain and fatigue syndromes in many patients who have been unresponsive to other therapies. Vitamin D therapy is easy for patients to self-administer, is well tolerated, and is very economical. The documents on this page provide detailed background information and practice recommendations.

In April of 2000 a clinical observation published in Archives of Internal Medicine caught my attention. Dr. Anu Prabhala and his colleagues reported on the treatment of five patients confined to wheelchairs with severe weakness and fatigue. Blood tests revealed that all suffered from severe vitamin D deficiency. The patients received 50,000 IU vitamin D per week and all became mobile within six weeks.1\n\nDr. Prabhala's research sparked my interest and led to a search for current information on vitamin D, how it works, how much we really need and how we get it. The following is a small part of the important information that I found.

Lääkäri Juha-Petri Ruoholan väitöskirjan mukaan liian vähäinen D-vitamiinin saanti voi altistaa rasitusmurtumien syntymiselle urheilijoille. Tutkimuksen mukaan murtumapotilailla oli selkeästi normaalia alhaisemmat D-vitamiinitasot. On olemassa erityinen TRACP5b-entsyymi (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b), joka antaa aika selvän kuvan luun hajotuksen määrästä elimistössä. Tätä entsyymiä mitataan osteoporoosin (luukato) diagnostiikassa ja yllätyksettömästi sama entsyymi soveltui myös rasitusmurtumien osoittamiseen. Kohonnut seerumin TRACP5b-arvo nosti murtuman todennäköisyyden kahdeksankertaiseksi verrokkeihin nähden näissä Ruoholan tutkimuksissa. D-vitamiinia voi siis lämpimästi suositella urheilijoille varsinkin talvikuukausina, jolloin auringon kautta saatava D-vitamiinivaikutus on Suomessa lähes olematon.

Kovaa harjoittelevat urheilijat! Lukekaa tämä teksti! Kova harjoittelu voi aiheuttaa rasitusmurtumia alaraajan luihin ja D-vitamiinia nauttimalla voidaan rasitusmurtumien synty ehkäistä.
