Brief Summary:
Our primary aim is to compare the complication rates of patients with ankle fractures who underwent skin closure using a running subcuticular suture pattern compared to an interrupted suture pattern At the time of the operation participants will be assigned to either the Subcuticular Suture Group SSG or the Simple Interrupted Suture Group SISG using computer-generated randomization programs The surgeon will perform the assigned closure technique using standardized techniques Running subcuticular Vicryl 3-0 sutures will be placed on patients in the experimental group while simple interrupted Monocryl 3-0 sutures patients in our control group
Patients will be followed up at the two-week and eight-week postoperative mark where we will use the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale POSAS to evaluate and compare wound healing Additionally photographs of the scars will be captured to visually assess the healing progression
