AB  - Many studies suggest diabetes influences ankle fracture surgical outcomes, but 
      results after immediate surgical treatment of closed ankle fractures (CAFs) in 
      patients with preoperatively neglected type 2 diabetes (PND2) have not been 
      documented. We contrasted the results of the immediate operation on CAF in 36 
      PND2 patients with those of a matched group of non-diabetic patients, using a 
      case-controlled study. Outcomes were complications and ankle scores during the 
      first 12 months of treatment. Compared with non-diabetic patients, immediate 
      surgical fixation of the CAF in PND2 patients showed similar ankle scores. 
      Immediate surgery in PND2 patient with CAF may increase the risk of postoperative 
      infection compared to non-diabetic controls, but the difference was not 
      statistically significant and did not worsen the final prognosis. These findings 
      suggest that immediate surgical intervention is appropriate in CAF patients with 
      type 2 diabetes.
