La única patología asociada al déficit de vitamina D fue durante el siglo XX el raquitismo.

El propósito de la presente revisión es proporcionar una actualización dirigida a especialistas en ortopedia y traumatología, respecto a definiciones, beneficios, patologías relevantes y guías de manejo que el especialista debe conocer respecto a este problema.
