While mental health issues fall outside of traditional orthopedic training, simply asking a patient how they’re coping from an emotional standpoint can be extremely valuable to their recovery. ...moreIt’s also helpful to normalize the situation for patients and families. Most athletes are not accustomed to showing weakness. If they are sad or upset, many try to fight through their feelings or push them aside.
