811 patients from an orthopaedic outpatients department were tested by means of a neurosis-relevant screening method (BFB and VFB by Höck and Hess). Results from a questionnaire suggest a neurotic disturbance in nearly 40 per cent of the cases. The importance of psychosocial factors to the formation course and the prognosis of diseases of the locomotor system is being discussed. Ways to improve the psychotherapeutic knowledge of doctors working in the field of orthopaedics are considered.
