TY - GEN N2 - Patients with poor diabetic control who sustain lower extremity fractures present a challenge due to a high risk of complications; we believe but do not know whether worse control accentuates the consequences. We aimed to study post-operative risk profile as a function of diabetes control in patients with lower extremity fractures and predicted that as diabetic control proceeded towards extreme neglect, we would see a commensurate rise in major complications.
