【 摘 要 】

Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:Ankle fractures are amongst the most common type of fracture injury in adults with an annual incidence of 187 fractures per 100,000 people in the United States. Previous groups have shown that diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a myriad of complications – including infection, malunion, and impaired wound healing – following open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) surgery for ankle fractures. However, to our knowledge there has not been a large-scale nationwide study on the rate of readmission, reoperation, and mortality associated with DM. The purpose of this study was to calculate the increased risk and odds ratios for 30-day postoperative readmission, reoperation, and mortality after ankle fracture ORIF.Methods:Patients who underwent ORIF for ankle fractures from 2006 to 2015 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Median values along with 2...
