5-Item Modified Frailty Index Score is Associated with Increased Postoperative Complications Following Ankle Fracture ORIF by Ronit Kulkarni BS, Alexander S. Guareshi BS, Nikhil Vallabhaneni BA, Joshua L. Morningstar BS, Daniel J. Scott MBA, MD, Christopher E. Gross MD

“…It is essential to quantify preoperative risk for patients undergoing ankle fracture repair, but a consensus regarding an optimal risk stratification model does not currently exist. The 5-factor modified frailty index (mFI-5) has been found to be an independent predictor of postoperative complications following numerous orthopaedic procedures, but its efficacy has not been evaluated in patients undergoing ankle fracture open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). …”
