Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:Obesity is a public health concern in the United States, with an overall prevalence of greater than one-third. From a surgical perspective, obesity may increase risk for postoperative complications, including delayed wound healing, infection or compromise of fixation/repair constructs. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review outcomes data from the American College of Surgeons: National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) to delineate the impact that obesity has on operative treatment of ankle fractures.Methods:Perioperative data was collected from patients undergoing operative intervention for distal fibular or bimalleolar ankle injuries. Patients were identified from the 2006-2015 NSQIP database using current procedural terminology (CPT) codes.
