Core Tip	After treatment for acute orthopedic trauma, the occurrence of chronic pain and disability is significantly correlated with psychological factors, particularly depression and anxiety. As such, psychological assessment is crucial for rehabilitation. This study investigated the correlation among chronic pain, disability, and psychological factors (depression and anxiety) in patients who underwent surgery for acute orthopedic trauma. Postoperative visual analog scale scores were significantly associated with Hamilton depression rating scale and anxiety scale scores, with correlation coefficients of 0.625 (P = 0.027) and 0.568 (P < 0.001), respectively, as were postoperative Disability Rating Index scores, with correlation coefficients of 0.683 and 0.557, respectively (both P < 0.001).
