A Shift on the Horizon: A Systematic Review of Assessment Tools for Plastic Surgery Trainees.

abstract：:Limited visibility characteristic of cleft palate repair presents both ergonomic and educational challenges to cleft surgeons. Despite widespread recognition and reporting, posture-related spine disorders continue to represent a significant and potentially career-limiting problem for cleft/craniofacial surgeons. In ad...
