Problem drinking was found to be likely in 21% of inpatients in a general orthopaedic and fracture service, and in 42% of outpatients attending the fracture clinics. The questionnaire showed that the problem was most common among young men, particularly among outpatients. Previous hospital admissions were more frequent in this group. Many of the health problems associated with the chronic abuse of alcohol are directly relevant to orthopaedic practice. Early intervention may be highly successful, and it is recommended that screening for problem drinking be considered in orthopaedic and fracture services.
在普通骨科和骨折科服务的住院患者中，发现21%可能存在问题饮酒情况，而在骨折诊所就诊的门诊患者中这一比例为42%。问卷调查显示，该问题在年轻男性中最为常见，尤其是门诊患者。这一群体之前的住院率更高。许多与长期酗酒相关的健康问题与骨科实践直接相关。早期干预可能会非常成功，建议在骨科和骨折科服务中考虑对问题饮酒进行筛查。
