Abstract
Vitamin D insufficiency has been increasingly reported worldwide at alarming rates. Clinical findings indicate that vitamin D insufficiency, deficiency and supplementation have a significant impact on bone health. However, there is no published experimental or clinical data on the causal effect of insufficient or deficient vitamin D levels on the success of establishing a solid bony union after a spinal fusion surgery. The work described in this study will help clarify the role of vitamin D in spinal fusion, providing important information on the potential of a low cost metabolic factor that may increase the rate and quality of spinal fusion and reduce the incidence of pseudoarthrosis.
