Joint Arthroplasty, Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if vitamin D supplementation affects postoperative rehabilitation in osteoarthritis patients who underwent joint arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does oral vitamin D supplementation for a period of time after joint arthroplasty affect the postoperative recovery speed in patients who have vitamin D deficiency? Does oral vitamin D supplementation after joint arthroplasty affect the long-term recovery of joint functions in patients who have vitamin D deficiency? Participants will: Take vitamin D oral supplement every day for 3 months. Visit the clinic in 1, 3, 6, 12 months after joint replacement surgery for checkups and tests.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knee joint function | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year | Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Pain ranging from 0 to 20 points; stiffness, 0 to 8 points; and physical function, 0 to 68 points. Higher scores represent worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. |
| Hip joint function | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year | Harris Hip Score. The maximum score possible is 100. Results can be interpreted with the following: \<70 = poor result; 70-80 = fair, 80-90 = good, and 90-100 = excellent. |
| Muscle strength | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year | Using portable muscle strength tester to measure flexor and extensor muscle strength of knee or hip joint |
