<p>The present study aims at identifying the psychological diseases of fractures&#8217; patients. (60) Fracture patients have been chosen to achieve the goal of the study. Patients have been chosen from Al-Wasiti University Hospital, Al-Kindi University Hospital, both of Baghdad Health Office, Rusafa, and Al-Karkh General Hospital of Baghdad Health Office, Karkh. These patients have been referring to the fracture consultant clinics for therapy. Age groups of the sample have been (18-27), (28-37) and (38- more) constituting the percentages of (31%), (43%) and (25%) in sequence. The Amended Adult Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DMS 4), Symptom Cher List (SCL- 90-R) set by Leonard R. Derogatis Ronald, S. Lipman &amp; Linocovi (1977) has been employed. Another format has been designed, including demographic information: age, sex, education, social habits (smoking and alcohol drinking)and details about the fracture: Fracture&#8217;s spot, time, the period passed on it, has a handicap occurred after the fracture, predicting having handicap after the fracture and evaluating health before having the fracture. Another yet information format has been designed. It has to be presented by the specialist surgeon after viewing the X-ray film of the patient. This format includes several questions: To what extent the patient is satisfied with the final results? To which extent has the patient overcame his case? And how far the fraction is reduced regarding (length, rotation and displacement), or how stable the fracture proves. A number of statistical methods have been used to examine the relationship between the independent variables represented by the dependent variable, the psychological diseases. The end of the study shows the results: (1) the most common mental illness in patients with fractures is an obsessive-compulsive disorder, followed by psychological depression and then, aggression. (2) There are no statistically significant differences concerning age group of fracture patients as far as the psychological diseases are concerned. (3) There are no statistically significant differences concerning fracture patients sex, as far as the psychological diseases are concerned.
