87 The Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders among Orthopaedic and Traumatology Residents in Indonesia Romy Deviandri*, Yoyos Dias Ismiarto ABSTRAK Gangguan muskuloskeletal sangat sering terjadi pada residen orthopedi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan jenis gangguan muskulosketal pada residen orthopedi di rumah sakit Hasak Sadikin, Bandung. Penelitian ini merupakan suatu survei deskriptif-analitik pada semua residen orthopedi di kota Bandung dengan jumlah total subjek 56 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa prevalensi gangguan muskuloskeletal terbanyak terdapat pada area punggung bawah (50%), diikuti pada leher (46,5%), pergelangan tangan (28,6%), pergelangan kaki (28,6%), bahu (21,4%), lutut (10,7%), paha dan bokong (10,7%), punggung atas (7,1%), dan siku (0%). Kesimpulan penelitian ini, nyeri punggung bawah serta nyeri leher merupakan gangguan muskuloskeletal tersering pada residen orthopedi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan strategi efektif untuk mencegah terjadinya gangguan ini pada populasi residen orthopedi.

The factors of continuous work and maintaining the body in not ergonomic position often cause interference with the muscles that are used predominantly in work, for example, on the shoulders, neck, back, wrists, and lower back. Low back pain (LBP) is one of the widely complained in the community. It was estimated that 60-85% of the world’s entire population had experienced LBP during his lifetime 1 . The annual prevalence of LBP was reported as 15-45% 2 . The highest incidence of low back pain is found at the age of 35-55 years, and there was no difference in the incidence between men and women 3 . At a young age below 45 years, LBP was most often caused by mechanical factors related to work 2,4 . Besides LBP, musculoskeletal disorders infuence the neck, wrists, shoulders, upper back, thighs, or ankles depending on the predominant muscles involved in excessive work activity 5 . An orthopedic resident is one of the resident groups with the highest mobility. In a day, the average orthopedic resident does work with a minimum duration of 8 hours with various body positions while working. An orthopedic resident does a lot of twisting, bending, rotation, or lifting heavy loads while doing his work. This is not following the principle of ergonomics, “ftting the task for the human.” The movements that are not ergonomic will cause mechanical disruption to the anatomic structure, resulting in musculoskeletal disorders. 6,7 The high rates of musculoskeletal injury among hard workers have been previously recognized in the literature. However, there is a lack of data regarding musculoskeletal symptoms among resident orthopedic surgeons in Indonesia. METHODS This was a descriptive-analytic study with the subjects included all orthopedic and traumatology residents at Hasan Sadikin Hospital period 2012 to 2016 with the criteria: JIK, Jilid 15, Nomor 2, September 2021, Hal. 87-90
