This study evaluates the impact of tobacco nicotine dependence (TND) vs non-tobacco nicotine dependence (NTND) on outcomes following ankle fracture open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The TriNetX database (2005-2025) was queried to identify patients who underwent ankle fracture ORIF. NTND and TND patients were separately propensity score matched to controls without history of nicotine use based on demographics, comorbidities, and open fracture status. After matching, the NTND cohort included 15\u2009609 patients (mean age 44.2\u2009years, body mass index [BMI] 29.8, 44.9% female) and the TND cohort included 11\u2009998 patients (mean age 45.1\u2009years, BMI 29.9, 45.3% female), with respective mean follow-ups of 494.8\u2009days and 460.6\u2009days. A direct matched comparison of 13\u2009261 NTND and TND patients was also performed. Ninety-day medical and 1-year surgical outcomes were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At 90\u2009days, both NTND and TND cohorts had significantly increased rates of readmission, myocardial infarction, and emergency department visits compared to their respective controls. At 1 year, the NTND group had significantly increased odds of wound dehiscence (odds ratio [OR] 1.628, 95% CI 1.136-2.334), implant-related infection (OR 1.877, 95% CI 1.378-2.558), and nonunion or malunion (OR 2.108, 95% CI 1.220-3.641) compared with its matched control group. The TND group had increased odds of wound dehiscence (OR 1.722, 95% CI 1.159-2.558), implant-related pain (OR 1.178, 95% CI 1.039-1.336), implant-related infection (OR 1.551, 95% CI 1.097-2.193), and surgical site infection (OR 2.068, 95% CI 1.355-3.157).
