Abstract:
Joint replacements are demanding surgeries that take physical and mental tolls on arthroplasty surgeons. Occupational hazards of joint replacement surgery include musculoskeletal injuries, blood-borne diseases, radiation exposure, noxious chemical exposure, noise exposure, and emotional stress. This article is a review of the available literature surrounding occupational hazards that arthroplasty surgeons face and how they can be prevented. The goal is to address adult reconstruction occupational hazards in order to increase the longevity of arthroplasty surgeons. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 34(3):130-133, 2025).
