Summary

This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen through the nose can lower the chance of wound infections and skin problems after ankle surgery. It includes 200 adults who are at higher risk due to conditions like diabetes or smoking. Half will get oxygen therapy while in the hospital, and the other half will not. Researchers will check for complications up to 6 months after surgery.
