Surgical Site Complications in Open Pronation-Abduction Ankle Fracture–Dislocations With Medial Tension Failure Wounds

Conclusions: Open pronation-abduction ankle fracture–dislocations with medial tension failure wounds remain a challenging and potentially devastating injury. Our study suggests that with appropriate surgical debridement, early stabilization, and primary wound closure, acceptable outcomes with a relatively low risk of surgical site complications can be achieved. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
