Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among orthopedic patients with musculoskeletal injuries, focusing on ethnic differences.
- It involved 211 participants, primarily comparing Hispanic and non-Hispanic White adults, revealing that 45.5% were Hispanic and 54.5% non-Hispanic White.
- The findings showed a significantly higher prevalence of PTSD symptoms in Hispanic participants, particularly among those born in the U.S., suggesting that ethnicity and other factors like gender and psychiatric comorbidity influence PTSD risk after such injuries.
