The impact of preoperative anxiety and depression on the prognosis of patients with painful accessory navicular

Modified Kidner surgery can significantly improve the function, pain, and psychological status of patients with painful AN.However, patients with less favorable preoperative psychological status tend to have less satisfactory outcomes.Patients with preoperative anxiety or depression symptoms experience more significant pain relief after surgery, while those without such symptoms show better functional recovery.Moreover, female patients with painful AN have a higher incidence of preoperative anxiety.Future research should further explore the impact of preoperative psychological interventions on outcomes.
