Episode notes
Supplement Vitamin D3 For Tendon Healing
- Do supplement vitamin D3 to support tendon-to-bone healing and reduce postoperative failure risk.
- Do consider vitamin D to lower inflammation and preserve knee joint tissue architecture.
Avoid Steroid Injections And Overloading
- Avoid steroid injections into tendons because they can weaken tissue and cause rupture.
- Avoid overloading tendons with eccentric loading beyond their capacity to prevent tears.
Excess Calcium Can Harden Connective Tissue
- High calcium deposition increases risk of tendon and ligament rupture by making tissue rigid.
- Therefore avoiding unnecessary calcium supplements may reduce connective tissue calcification risk.
