Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among Saudi orthopedic surgeons: a cross-sectional study.

However, contributing factors to MSK pain have not been fully investigated among orthopaedic surgeons. Thus, this study aimed to approximate the prevalence and predictors of MSK pain among Saudi orthopaedic surgeons working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
