Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to describe changes in vitamin D parameters before, during and after a well-defined elective surgical trauma (knee arthroplasty) and to compare these changes to other steroid hormones (testosterone and oestrogens). The hypothesis is that profound changes in free and total vitamin D will occur as a result of changes between intravascular vs extravascular protein compartments during surgical trauma.
