BackgroundVitamin D deficiency is an established risk factor for osteoporosis and fragility fractures in the elderly. However, its prevalence and association with specific anatomic fracture sites remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to assess vitamin D status and investigate its variation across fracture sites in elderly patients with fragility fractures.MethodsA total of 2543 hospitalized patients aged ≥60 years with fragility fractures were included. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations...
