What this study is testing

What it's testing
Although physical factors play an important role in the treatment and outcomes after proximal humerus fracture (PHF), psychosocial factors need to be taken into account as well. Few studies have been done to assess the influence of psychosocial factors and mental distress on the outcomes after shoulder surgery and show that it has a negative correlation on the outcomes.
