vol. x / no. x As the prevalence of diabetes mellitus has continued to increase, so too has the number of ankle fractures seen in this patient population.” Abstract: The management of dia-betic ankle fractures is difficult given the associated wound and bone heal-ing complications. Even with meticu-lous soft tissue handling and a stable construct, the fixation sometimes fails because of the poor biological environ-ment. This study reports on 2 cases of Weber type B ankle fractures in patients with diabetes mellitus where the authors elected to treat with arthros-copy-assisted fracture reduction and percutaneous fibula nailing to reduce the risk of wound complications
