Postoperative Outcomes After Ankle Fracture ORIF in Patients With Documented Nicotine and/or Cannabis Use: An Observational Analysis

Nicotine use was associated with increased postoperative complications after ankle fracture ORIF, whereas cannabis use alone was not. When evaluating dual substance users, complication rates were largely comparable to nicotine-only users. Further studies are needed to clarify the isolated and combined perioperative effects of cannabis and nicotine.

Abstract

Nicotine use was associated with increased postoperative complications after ankle fracture ORIF, whereas cannabis use alone was not. When evaluating dual substance users, complication rates were largely comparable to nicotine-only users. Further studies are needed to clarify the isolated and combined perioperative effects of cannabis and nicotine.
