Psychophysiological Evaluation of Leg Fracture Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fifty consecutive leg fracture patients and an equal number of age and sex matched normal controls were evaluated by psychiatric interview and mental status examination, Sinha's anxiety scale (SAS). Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS) and the Michigan alcoholism screening test (MAST). Detailed evaluation revealed a high prevalence of alcohol dependence/ abuse (34%) and depression (8%). Leg fracture patients were significantly less anxious but significantly more depressed as compared to the normal subjects. Psychiatric assistance would greatly aid in the management of these patients.

متن کاملOutcome of Distal Both Bone Leg Fractures Fixed by Intramedulary Nail for Fibula & MIPPO in Tibia
Background: Fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. The preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) procedure. However, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...
