Surgical complications are more common in patients with complicated diabetes (presence of inner organ failure, neuropathy). Of all patients undergoing ankle fracture fixation, approximately 13% are diabetic and 2% have complicated diabetes mellitus. Non-operative management of ankle fractures in patients with complicated diabetes results in an even higher rate of complications. Insufficient stability of ankle fractures (treated operatively, or non-operatively) can trigger Charcot neuroarthropathy, and result in bone loss, deformity, ulceration, and the need for amputation. Rigid fixation is recommended. Hindfoot arthrodesis (as primary procedure or after failed ankle fracture management) can salvage the limb in approximately 80% of patients. Early protected weight bearing can be allowed, provided rigid fixation without deformity has been achieved.
