Dougherty CD, et al. - Investigators assessed the consequences of antirheumatic medications on the risk of both soft tissue and osseous postoperative complications in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who underwent foot and ankle surgery among 110 candidates, between 2009 and 2014. They noted postoperative complication among 28% of cases; viz, 13 soft tissue, 9 osseous, and 9 both soft tissue and osseous. They noted no statistically significant correlation between the use of antirheumatic medications in the perioperative period and postoperative complications. They observed the relation of increased surgery duration and peripheral neuropathy with a statistically significant improvement in postoperative complications. A higher risk of soft tissue complications in non-elective procedures as compared to elective procedures was reported.
