A retrospective analysis of individuals with ankle fractures treated with ORIF was undertaken. Study subjects were divided into a wound complications (WC) group and a no wound complication (NWC) group. The WC group was further divided into an SSI group and wound healing issues group. Twenty\u2010one potential risk factors associated with wound complications after ORIF were tracked. Uni\u2010 and multivariate binary logistical regression analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with wound complications, ISS and wound healing issues. In total, 613 individuals, who had undergone surgery for ankle fractures formed the study cohort. The incidence of postoperative wound complications was 10.3% (63 cases), including 5.2% of SSI (32 cases) and 5.1% of wound healing issues (31 cases). The independent risk factors for wound complications were age 65\u2009years or older, preoperative serum albumin level below 35\u2009g\/L, peripheral neuropathy, open fracture, fewer than seven cases per year in surgical volume, and attending surgeon level. The independent risk factors for SSI were age 65\u2009years or older, preoperative serum albumin level below 35\u2009g\/L, open fracture and fewer than seven cases per year in surgical volume. The independent risk factors for wound healing issues were preoperative serum albumin level below 35\u2009g\/L, peripheral neuropathy, open fracture and attending surgeon level. Herein we found both factors inherent to the injury and individual and those pertaining to the surgical team affected the frequency of wound complications after ORIF of ankle fractures. Specifically, advanced age and low surgical volume were associated with a greater risk of SSI. Peripheral neuropathy and the low expertise level on the part of the surgeon were associated with a greater risk of wound healing issues. Hypoproteinaemia and open fracture were both associated with a greater risk of both SSI and wound healing issues.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.14581","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,19]],"date-time":"2023-12-19T06:05:40Z","timestamp":1702965940000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Wound complication risk factors following open reduction and internal fixation of ankle fractures"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4745-8426","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiuguo","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Surgery Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fenglong","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Trauma Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dailiang","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Surgery Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Trauma Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Trauma Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Surgery Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haibin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Surgery Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Trauma Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University  Jining China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","first-page":"2541","volume-title":"Rockwood and Green's Fractures in Adults","author":"Tornetta P","year":"2015"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/502033"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301\u2010620X.96B5.33143"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.H.00653"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.K.01672"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/230949901502300114"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00402\u2010011\u20101349\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715609182"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2013.11.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1938640018810422"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jos.2022.03.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131\u2010200210000\u201000012"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3760\/cma.j.cn112338\u201020220402\u201000253"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.13819"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/iwj.12957"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2017.10.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/501620"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_19_1","volume-title":"Consensus Document.
