Abstract
Ankle fracture is the third most prevalent fracture in older adults. Wound dehiscence is the most frequent complication. Our objective is to determine the operative wound complication rate in patients with unstable ankle fracture in whom a prophylactic simple fasciocutaneous advancement was used.
Prophylactic fasciocutaneous advancement at the beginning of traumatological surgery is technically simple, reproducible, cheap and with low complications.
