Orthopaedics has been left behind in the worldwide drive towards diversity and inclusion. In the UK, only 7% of orthopaedic consultants are female. There is growing evidence that diversity increases innovation as well as patient outcomes. This paper has reviewed the literature to identify some of the common issues affecting female surgeons in orthopaedics, and ways in which we can address them: there is a wealth of evidence documenting the differences in the journey of men and women towards a consultant role. We also look at lessons learned from research in the business sector and the military. The 'Hidden Curriculum' is out of date and needs to enter the 21st century: microaggressions in the workplace must be challenged; we need to consider more flexible training options and support trainees who wish to become pregnant; mentors, both male and female, are imperative to provide support for trainees. The world has changed, and we need to consider how we can improve diversity to stay relevant and effective. Cite this article: 2021;2-10:893-899.
在全球推动多元化和包容性的进程中，骨科领域落在了后面。在英国，骨科顾问中只有7%是女性。越来越多的证据表明，多元化既能促进创新，也能改善患者治疗效果。本文回顾了相关文献，以确定影响骨科女外科医生的一些常见问题，以及我们解决这些问题的方法：有大量证据记录了男性和女性在成为顾问角色过程中的差异。我们还探讨了从商业领域和军事领域的研究中吸取的经验教训。“隐性课程”已经过时，需要进入21世纪：工作场所的微侵犯行为必须受到挑战；我们需要考虑更灵活的培训选择，并支持希望怀孕的实习生；男性和女性导师对于为实习生提供支持至关重要。世界已经发生了变化，我们需要考虑如何提高多元化水平，以保持相关性和有效性。引用本文：2021；2 - 10：893 - 899。
