Abstract

Little is known about the clinical consequences of psychological morbidity associated with orthopedic trauma. Anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and personality disorders may all occur during the postoperative period. There are no currently clearly defined relations between orthopedic injuries and PTSD, but undoubtedly, we can say that, depending on the personality traits, one can develop PTSD if the orthopedics trauma triggers and induce PTSD in individuals, and that should be one of the main future perspectives and goals of investigative studies. The effectiveness of prevention strategies that could be developed through psychiatrists and orthopedic surgeon cooperation strategies as well as developing strategies when PTSD occur postoperatively should also be one of the main targets in the near future, as PTSD as an entity presents one of the greatest disability factors in society producibility nowadays, which is also very important from the economy perspective.
