| Core Tip |
Adolescents with orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions may experience anxiety, depressive symptoms, body image concerns, pain catastrophizing, fear avoidance, and reduced quality of life. These factors may coexist with pain, functional limitation, treatment burden, and rehabilitation difficulties. This review examines the available evidence and discusses how brief validated psychological measures may support clinical assessment when appropriate systems exist for interpretation, safety evaluation, referral, and follow-up. However, screening is not diagnostic, and its optimal frequency and effectiveness in improving orthopedic outcomes remain uncertain. More prospective adolescent-specific research is needed. |
