This study will evaluate the difference in soft tissue swelling prior to surgery and wound complications after surgery between unna boot application versus standard splint application. An unna boot is an extra zinc covered wrap around your leg followed by standard splint application (cotton dressing, plaster, then soft dressing). Prior to surgery the participant's swelling will be measured and compared to the standard splint application group. After surgery, the participant will be monitored for wound complications, pain, and range of motion.
