The aim of this study was to compare hand grip strength (HGS) and manual dexterity of academic, subspecialized surgeons.
A single-center cross-sectional study was performed among 61 surgeons. HGS was analysed with a hand dynamometer and manual dexterity was extensively analysed with a Purdue Pegboard Test. Correlations between HGS and manual dexterity and specific characteristics of the surgeons were analysed using Pearson's correlation coefficient ().
HGS and manual dexterity were comparable between surgeons from different specialities. HGS was positively correlated with male gender ( = 0.59, < 0.001) and hand glove size ( = 0.61, < 0.001), whereas manual dexterity was negatively correlated with male gender ( = -0.35, = 0.006), age ( = -0.39, = 0.002), and hand glove size ( = -0.46, < 0.001).
Surgical subspecialization was not correlated with HGS or manual dexterity. Male surgeons have greater HGS, whereas female surgeons have better manual dexterity. Manual dexterity is also correlated with age, showing better scores for younger surgeons.
本研究旨在比较学术型、亚专科外科医生的握力（HGS）和手部灵巧性。
在61名外科医生中进行了一项单中心横断面研究。使用握力计分析握力，并使用普渡钉板测试广泛分析手部灵巧性。使用Pearson相关系数（）分析握力与手部灵巧性以及外科医生的特定特征之间的相关性。
不同专业的外科医生之间的握力和手部灵巧性相当。握力与男性性别呈正相关（ = 0.59， < 0.001）和手套尺寸呈正相关（ = 0.61， < 0.001），而手部灵巧性与男性性别呈负相关（ = -0.35， = 0.006）、年龄呈负相关（ = -0.39， = 0.002）和手套尺寸呈负相关（ = -0.46， < 0.001）。
外科亚专科与握力或手部灵巧性无关。男性外科医生握力更大，而女性外科医生手部灵巧性更好。手部灵巧性也与年龄相关，年轻外科医生得分更高。
