Microfractures, Vitamin D, and Stress Fractures.Abstract
According to the research that's been done, there are a lot of different things that can put you at risk for getting a
stress fracture. In sports, stress fractures can be caused by a combination of circumstances, one of which is a
prolonged risk of vitamin D deficiency. Stress fractures are a common injury that can impact any athlete, from the
weekend warrior to the professional. Certain sporting activities, such as basketball, baseball, athletics, rowing,
soccer, aerobics, and classic ballet, have a high incidence of stress fractures. The primary objective of this
investigation is to evaluate existing understanding concerning vitamin K.In the field of undergraduate dentistry
education, VD and stress fractures are commonplace. Methodology: Using a web-based tool called Google forms, a
cross-sectional study was carried out among undergraduate dentistry students (I,II,III,IV and Interns) in a tertiary
care teaching hospital in Khammam. A semi-structural online questionnaire was designed and sent to the students in
order for them to fill it out. The results of the study were analysed using descriptive statistics. The IBM SPSS
statistics programme version 29.0.0.0 was utilised in order to compile the descriptive statistics and conduct the chisquare test. To determine whether or not there was statistical significance, an AP-value of less than 0.05 was
employed. The findings showed that a total of 204 students participated, with females comprising 72.1% of the
group and boys accounting for 27.9%. The participants' ages range anywhere from 18 to 35 years old. According to
the findings of this research, female students have a greater awareness than male students do regarding Vitamin D
and stress fractures in sports. Interns have more expertise and awareness than IV BDS technicians, who are
followed by III BDS technicians. The findings of the study point to the conclusion that students have a knowledge
level that is pretty adequate about vitamin D and stress fractures.
