It is an accepted fact that Ilizarov frames are difficult to live with. Professionals advise patients that things get easier over time, but, there is little evidence to support this. This study examined the course of patient's self-reported anxiety and depression during treatment with an Ilizarov frame. Over 12 months, 66 trauma and elective patients were prospectively recruited to the study. Patients completed validated questionnaires measuring anxiety and depression (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) at set time points through their treatment ranging from before the frame was fitted through to after it was removed.Background
