Anterior ankle incisions and tourniquet use in foot and ankle surgery have both been associated with increased incidence of incisional healing complications. Although a tourniquet is commonly used for procedures such as total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis that utilize an anterior ankle incision, it is possible to avoid tourniquet use while preserving adequate visualization with atraumatic layered dissection and closure, appropriate use of electrocautery, and ligation of vessels as needed.

Ankle fractures are a common traumatic lower extremity injury and are generally classified and characterized by the rotational mechanism of injury. At each malleolus (i.e., posterior, medial, and lateral) a fracture can occur or a ligamentous injury may be sustained. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine if bone mineral density is a contributing factor on the number of fractured malleoli versus soft tissue injury in adult ankle fractures.
