Lower incidence of new onset depressive mood disorders associated with early postoperative weight-bearing versus non-weight bearing following fixation of femur and tibia fractures
Early weight-bearing facilitated by IMN may be associated with a lower incidence of depressive mood disorders compared to delayed weight-bearing with ORIF. However, overall psychiatric outcomes were similar in this study. This suggests that other factors such as pain management and rehabilitation may play a more important role in postoperative psychiatric health.
