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. 000008289 540__ $$fCC BY 000008289 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008289 650__ $$aOrthopedics$$023320 000008289 650__ $$aDiabetes Mellitus$$017671 000008289 650__ $$aOrthopedic Procedures$$031751 000008289 650__ $$aGlycated Hemoglobin$$020045 000008289 650__ $$aFractures, Bone$$036511 000008289 6531_ $$aorthopedic surgery 000008289 6531_ $$ahemoglobin A1C 000008289 6531_ $$adiabetic neglect 000008289 6531_ $$adiabetic control 000008289 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008289 692__ $$aDepartment of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation$$041436 000008289 7001_ $$aLawson, Michelle$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008289 7001_ $$aRodgers, Frank$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008289 7001_ $$aJohnson, Alicia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008289 7001_ $$aThompson, Austin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008289 7001_ $$aFriess, Darin$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008289 7001_ $$aWorking, Zachary$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008289 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008289 8564_ $$9c177bbc9-e988-4e70-9d82-551954b77ccb$$s49756$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8289/files/Michelle-Lawson.pdf 000008289 905__ $$a/rest/prod/mp/48/sd/32/mp48sd327 000008289 980__ $$aResearch Week
