Résumé
This survey of spine surgeons aimed to determine the prevalence of neck pain and identify the associated risk factors. The prevalence of neck pain has been reported in various medical sub-specialities including laparoscopy surgeons, dentists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologist, urologist and orthopaedic surgeons. However, the literature is lacking on prevalence and risk factors for neck pain in spine surgeons. A survey questionnaire containing demographic, Neck pain and work practice details was administered to 300 spine surgeons (members of an online group) via text message and e-mail. One hundred and eighty surgeons responded to the survey (response rate, 60%). Three spine surgeons had previous cervical spine surgeries. The 1-month prevalence rate of neck pain was 74.4% (134/180 surgeons). One hundred and eighteen surgeons (88%) reported only neck pain, 16 surgeons (11.9%) had neck pain with radicular arm pain. Only 20.5% of surgeons used a loupe, 18% of surgeons used a microscope, and 24% of surgeons used operating table height at umbilicus during surgery. There was no significant difference between the mean age (p = 0.65), work experience (p = 0.8), time spent in surgery (p = 0.7), and operating table height preference (p = 0.4) when symptomatic and asymptomatic groups were compared. However, a significantly greater percentage of surgeons had a sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.002) & used loupes as compared to microscopes (p = 0.04) in the symptomatic group. There was significant correlation between the surgeon's lifestyle & use of loupe and the incidence of neck pain. Spine surgeons have a higher prevalence of neck pain than general populations and surgeons from other specialties. Considering the high prevalence of neck pain, general health, work, and ergonomic guidelines and recommendations must be formulated to help prevent and decrease the burden of neck pain among spine surgeons.
