Category:Ankle, Diabetes, TraumaIntroduction/Purpose:Factors predicting complications after surgical treatment of geriatric ankle fractures include presence of various comorbidities such as diabetes, chronic renal disease. However, beyond the binary definition of presence or absence, further speci? c information of these comorbidities such as their chronicity, severity and/or perioperative laboratories have not been studied as risk factors for postoperative complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the measurements of comorbidities and complications within the? rst 30 days following surgical treatment of geriatric ankle fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study.
