There is more to repairing bones than just vitamin D and calcium. To specifically answer this question, yes there are vitamins, vitamin D and vitamin K.
Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption in the gut. Without it the calcium won't get into your body. However just because calcium gets into your body, that doesn't mean it's going to the right place. Many people actually loose the calcium in their bones, while calcium deposits in places it's not supposed to be such as arteries.
Vitamin K is essential for carrying and directing calcium to where it is supposed to go. Therefore vitamin D and vitamin K should be taken together.
To get more specific, Vitamin K is is responsible for the carboxylation of Matrix Gla Protein, which is a strong inhibitor of arterial calcification. Matrix Gla protein is responsible for putting calcium in the bone and keeping it out of the arterial wall. Without vitamin k calcium will be more likely to stay in the blood and deposit on atrial walls.
Vitamin K is high in green leafy vegetables, is also produced by good gut bacteria (which many people don't have) in vitamin k supplements and a very, very few vitamin D supplements also have vitamin k in them.
btw: this problem is due to low vitamin k. If you get your vitamin D from supplements or sunlight it won't matter!
