Psychology in orthopedics and traumatology: an instructional review
[摘要] Mental health is important as a predictor of outcomes after orthopedic treatment. Psychological parameters (e.g. expectations, coping strategies, personality) are as important as biological and mechanical factors in the severity of musculoskeletal complaints and treatment results. Orthopedic surgeons should not only treat physical conditions but also address psychosocial factors. If necessary, they should refer to clinical psychologists. Multidisciplinary approach, patient-oriented treatment, (psycho)education, emotional support, and teaching coping strategies are elements of psychosocial attention within orthopedics and traumatology.
