Impact of Non-Tobacco Nicotine Use on Outcomes Following Total Ankle Arthroplasty
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate the impact of non-tobacco nicotine (NTN) use on surgical outcomes following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), given the established adverse effects of tobacco-derived nicotine. Their retrospective cohort study reveals that NTN users experience significantly higher rates of surgical site complications within the first year post-surgery, while no significant differences were noted for implant-related outcomes or healthcare use. The findings suggest that incorporating NTN use into preoperative assessments may enhance risk stratification and patient counseling.
