In total, 101 (33.9%) individual patients attending an outpatient appointment had screening results indicating a need for some form of psychological support .
Conclusions • The consequences of undergoing limb reconstruction more than just physical. • The benefits of early detection and management of such problems are significant. • There is urgent need to integrate mental health care as part of early management of severely injured patients.
