Orthopedic surgeons face significant physical and psychosocial stressors during their training as surgical residents and throughout their career. Aside from occupational hazards intrinsic to the profession, two notable and treatable concerns are musculoskeletal pain and emotional burnout, which have a reported prevalence as high as 97% and 56%, respectively, among orthopedic residents. Management of musculoskeletal pain and burnout is essential for promoting surgeon well being, education, and longevity as well as avoiding medical errors and compromises to patient care. This perspective manuscript describes the occupational challenges faced by orthopedic surgeons and promotes a habitual practice of yoga as an adjunct therapy for managing musculoskeletal pain and emotional burnout, and furthermore, introduces the need to reconsider gendered perceptions surrounding orthopedics and the practice of yoga in a profession largely comprised of men.
骨科医生在住院医师培训期间及整个职业生涯中面临着巨大的身体和心理社会压力源。除了该职业固有的职业危害外，两个值得注意且可治疗的问题是肌肉骨骼疼痛和情绪倦怠，据报道，骨科住院医师中这两个问题的患病率分别高达97%和56%。管理肌肉骨骼疼痛和倦怠对于促进外科医生的健康、教育和职业寿命至关重要，同时也有助于避免医疗错误和对患者护理的影响。这篇观点性文章描述了骨科医生面临的职业挑战，并提倡将瑜伽作为一种辅助疗法，用于管理肌肉骨骼疼痛和情绪倦怠，此外，还介绍了重新审视围绕骨科以及在这个主要由男性组成的职业中瑜伽练习的性别观念的必要性。
