The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory: general guidelines to its use and interpretation in orthopedics.

The MMPI is a valuable source of additional information for the orthopedist faced with trying to manage patients who may have hysterical or hypochondriacal tendencies. The presence of elevations on scales 1 (hypochondriasis) and 3 (hysteria) markedly reduces the chances for successful therapeutic intervention, whether it be surgical or conservative. A clinical interview by a psychologist in conjunction with the MMPI has improved diagnosis and management programs for patients with low back pain.
