Officially chartered in 1998, the J. Robert Gladden Orthopaedic Society (JRGOS) is a multicultural society dedicated to improving the diversity of the orthopaedic surgeon workforce and ending disparities in musculoskeletal health care. The purpose of this article is to discuss why an organization such as the JRGOS was needed within the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and highlight the key figures in orthopaedic history who supported the formation of the JRGOS. It also highlights the present efforts of the JRGOS, which include mentorship of Black, indigenous people of color medical students, residents and fellows in training, and support of research related to disparities in musculoskeletal care. As the JRGOS enters its third decade of existence, additional partnerships with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Association, AALOS, Orthopaedic Diversity Leadership Consortium, RJOS, Nth Dimensions, BWOS, and industry will help to realize the dream of making the orthopaedic workforce as diverse as the United States.
1998 年正式成立的 J.罗伯特·格拉登骨科协会（JRGOS）是一个多元文化的协会，致力于增加骨科医生队伍的多样性，并消除肌肉骨骼保健方面的差异。本文旨在讨论为何在美国骨科医师学会内需要成立这样一个组织，并强调在骨科历史上支持 JRGOS 成立的关键人物。本文还重点介绍了 JRGOS 的当前工作，包括对接受培训的黑人和有色人种医学生、住院医师和研究员的指导，以及对与肌肉骨骼护理差异相关的研究的支持。随着 JRGOS 进入存在的第三个十年，与美国骨科医师学会、美国骨科协会、AALOS、骨科多样性领导联盟、RJOS、Nth Dimensions、BWOS 和行业的进一步合作将有助于实现让骨科医生队伍与美国一样多样化的梦想。
