Description

Marie March and Katharine Roberts review how psychosocial care could move from general muscle and joint practice into orthopaedic surgery in a 2024 article. Long-lasting musculoskeletal problems harm body, mind, work, and social life, and the harm grows when patients carry psychosocial risk factors. Best practice in primary care already treats the whole person, not just the joint.

Surgery wards, though, screen mainly for discharge needs and lack a shared way to assess those risk factors. Few whole-person programs from primary care have been tried in surgical settings. The authors list barriers at patient, clinician, workforce, and system levels. They discuss staffing, shared decisions, health literacy, and care for women and diverse communities. The review frames a large chance to give surgical patients more complete, fair care.
