Description Work-related chronic musculoskeletal pain and injury are common amongst surgeons. These injuries stem largely from poor operating room ergonomics or a lack of surgeon understanding of how best to optimize the operating room environment to minimize injury.The goal of this project is to define the prevalence of work-related pain and/or injury, assess knowledge of operating room ergonomics and the role ergonomics play in causing injury, educate how to optimize ergonomics, and intervene on behalf of those with pain or injury.
