Patients with diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of complications after sustaining an ankle fracture, including fracture displacement, superficial and deep infection, hardware failure, and neuropathic arthropathy. With the increased incidence of diabetes among the aged, the increased incidence of complications due to diabetes mellitus and its sequelae are important to keep in mind when treating ankle fractures.
糖尿病患者在发生踝关节骨折后出现并发症的风险更高，包括骨折移位、浅表和深部感染、内固定失败以及神经性关节病。随着老年人中糖尿病发病率的上升，在治疗踝关节骨折时，牢记糖尿病及其后遗症导致的并发症发病率增加这一点很重要。
