Vitamin C in orthopedic practices: Current concepts, novel ideas, and future perspectives

Journal of Orthopaedic Research | 2021 | Bennett Oakes, Ioanna K. Bolia, Alexander E. Weber, Frank A Petrigliano

AbstractVitamin C (ascorbic acid), is an important antioxidant that has been applied broadly in the field of orthopaedics. Current research on vitamin C examines the molecule's role in bone and tendon physiology, as well as joint replacement and Postoperative pain. Most laboratory and human studies associate the use of vitamin C with improved bone health and tendon healing. Rec...
