Predictors of Moderate or Severe Pain 6 Months After Orthopaedic Injury: A Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract

Moderate or severe pain is commonly reported 6 months after orthopaedic trauma. Pain intensity at discharge and the effects of a "no-fault" compensation system are potentially modifiable factors that might be addressed through intervention studies to reduce the burden of persistent pain after orthopaedic trauma.
