Foster BD, et al. - Following femoral, tibial, and pilon fractures, researchers assessed the impact of pre-existing mental health (MH) conditions on 90-day complication, 90-day readmission, and all-time revision surgical intervention rates in this national database of 70 million combined patients. In patients with MH disorders in matched cohorts, femoral, tibial and pilon readmission rates, revision rates and complication rates were significantly greater after controlling for medical comorbidity. Comorbid MH conditions with treatment of femoral, tibial, and pilon fractures are associated with higher postoperative complication, readmission, and revision surgery rates.
