Transcutaneous Oxygen Pressure of the Injured Ankle as Predictor of Postoperative Cutaneous Pain (TAC)

Nantes University Hospital (NUH)

Status: Completed

Conditions: Ankle Injuries

Identifiers

About

This monocentric prospective observational pilot study aims to investigate if the measurement of TcPO2 can be used as a predictor of postoperative cutaneous pain in patients with ankle surgery.

Full description

This prospective observational study aims to determine the limit of TcPO2 predictive of postoperative cutaneous pain in patients with ankle trauma.

A TcPO2 measurement will be performed preoperatively at the patient's arrival in the emergency room, then every day after the operation for 3 days and finally at the follow-up visits at 3 and 6 weeks.

The cutaneous pain is evaluated by a PSAS self-questionnaire (completed by the patient) and an OSAS questionnaire (completed by the surgeon). These grids evaluate the tolerance and cicatricial quality in the medium and long term by the operator and the patient.

Enrollment: 39 patients
