A blinded reviewer graded each wound using a novel postoperative wound classification system, and recorded whether the wound was completely healed by or after 3 months. A second blinded review was performed to determine intraobserver reliability. Mean patient age was 55 years (range, 24-80) and all patients had at least 6-month follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were significantly more total wound complications ( P = .02) and mild wound complications ( P = .02) in the casted group compared to the compression wrap group. There were no significant differences in the number of moderate and severe complications between each group. A significantly higher proportion of TAA incisions took longer than 3 months to heal in the casted group ( P = .02).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on our clinical experience with postoperative wound care after TAA, use of a compression wrap protocol was safe and effective at reducing wound-related complications, and well tolerated by patients. Further prospective, randomized clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the utility and cost-effectiveness of a compression wrap protocol after TAA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III, retrospective cohort study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100715597437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,31]],"date-time":"2015-07-31T22:29:10Z","timestamp":1438381750000},"page":"1448-1454","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Reduction in Wound Complications After Total Ankle Arthroplasty Using a Compression Wrap Protocol"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Oliver N.","family":"Schipper","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, University of Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew R.","family":"Hsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OrthoCarolina Foot & Ankle Institute, Charlotte, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven L.","family":"Haddad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, LLC, Glenview, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD003140.pub2"},{"key":"bibr2-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2012.0492"},{"key":"bibr3-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.68B5.3782244"},{"key":"bibr4-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2009.0084"},{"key":"bibr5-1071100715597437","first-page":"367","volume":"59","author":"Coetzee JC","year":"2010","journal-title":"Instr Course Lect"},{"key":"bibr6-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070602700909"},{"key":"bibr7-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.J.00126"},{"key":"bibr8-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2009.0945"},{"key":"bibr9-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-009-0987-3"},{"key":"bibr10-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200709000-00002"},{"key":"bibr11-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17453674.2011.636678"},{"key":"bibr12-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1071100714534217"},{"key":"bibr13-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20140401-04"},{"key":"bibr14-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197456080-00005"},{"key":"bibr15-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110070202301105"},{"key":"bibr16-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079301400404"},{"key":"bibr17-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.I.00870"},{"key":"bibr18-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.K.00939"},{"key":"bibr19-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2009.0579"},{"key":"bibr20-1071100715597437","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.1100170509"}],"container-title":["Foot &amp; Ankle International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1071100715597437","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1071100715597437","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1071100715597437","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T21:24:51Z","timestamp":1777411491000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1071100715597437"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,31]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1071100715597437"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1071100715597437","relation":{},"ISSN":["1071-1007","1944-7876"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1071-1007","type":"print"},{"value":"1944-7876","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,31]]}}}
