Özet
Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between unilateral lateral epicondylitis (ULE), bilateral lateral epicondylitis (BLE), and vitamin D levels. Material and Methods: Between January 2016 and January 2021, 112 ULE patients (67 men, 45 women, mean age 45.55 +/- 10.75 years), 90 BLE patients (47 men, 43 women, mean age 44.93 +/- 9.76 years), and 134 patients determined as the control group (47 men, 43 women, mean age 44.93 +/- 9.76 years) were included in the study. The three groups were compared in terms of vitamin D levels. Results: The mean vitamin D level was 24.87 +/- 8.45 ng/ml in the control group, 16.67 +/- 8.08 ng/ml in the ULE group, and 12.2 +/- 5.71ng/ml in the BLE group. There was a significant difference in vitamin D levels between the control and ULE group, the control and BLE group, and the ULE and BLE group (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.014, respectively). Discussion: Vitamin D levels of patients with bilateral lateral epicondylitis were significantly lower than those with unilateral lateral epicondylitis. This study shows that low vitamin D may be one of the etiological factors of lateral epicondylitis and may cause bilateral lateral epicondylitis at lower values.
