(1) Background: Musculoskeletal pain is common among orthopedic surgeons. Their common musculoskeletal issues include shoulder pain and disability. Many associated factors could lead to this pain and disability; by identifying these, we can prevent orthopedic surgeons' pain and improve their functional capacity. (2) Methods: This study aimed to gather quantitative data regarding the shoulder pain and disability experienced by orthopedic surgeons. It also aimed to explore the potential correlations between demographic characteristics and work-related factors and their pain and disability. This study interviewed 150 orthopedic surgeons working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, asking questions on the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scale and about their demographic characteristics. (3) Results: All interviewed orthopedic surgeons were male, married, and nonsmokers. Their SPADI pain subsection score was 25.24%, their SPADI disability subsection score was 21.25%, and their total SPADI score was 22.79%. Among the examined demographic characteristics, total SPADI scores have a significant positive correlation with body weight (Spearman's = 0.432; < 0.05) and body mass index (BMI; = 0.349; < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: Our findings indicate that all orthopedic surgeons generally suffer from moderate shoulder pain and disability. Body weight and body mass index are important factors that may influence shoulder pain and disability among orthopedic surgeons.
(1) 背景：肌肉骨骼疼痛在骨科医生中很常见。他们常见的肌肉骨骼问题包括肩部疼痛和功能障碍。许多相关因素可能导致这种疼痛和功能障碍；通过识别这些因素，我们可以预防骨科医生的疼痛并提高他们的功能能力。(2) 方法：本研究旨在收集有关骨科医生肩部疼痛和功能障碍的定量数据。它还旨在探讨人口统计学特征和工作相关因素与他们的疼痛和功能障碍之间的潜在相关性。本研究采访了150名在沙特阿拉伯王国工作的骨科医生，询问了关于肩部疼痛和功能障碍指数（SPADI）量表的问题以及他们的人口统计学特征。(3) 结果：所有接受采访的骨科医生均为男性，已婚且不吸烟。他们的SPADI疼痛子量表得分为25.24%，SPADI功能障碍子量表得分为21.25%，SPADI总分得分为22.79%。在所检查的人口统计学特征中，SPADI总分与体重（斯皮尔曼氏相关系数 = 0.432；P < 0.05）和体重指数（BMI；相关系数 = 0.349；P < 0.05）呈显著正相关。(4) 结论：我们的研究结果表明，所有骨科医生普遍患有中度肩部疼痛和功能障碍。体重和体重指数是可能影响骨科医生肩部疼痛和功能障碍的重要因素。
