Although the diversity in orthopaedic residency programs has been studied, the diversity within academic orthopaedics has not.
The board of specialty societies, five leading journals and the National Institutes of Health RePORTER tool, and three accreditation organizations were explored.
The board of directors comprised 220 (72%) Caucasians, 36 (12%) Asians, 4 (1%) Hispanic/Latinos, 29 (9%) African Americans, and 18 (6%) Other individuals; 250 (81%) were men, and 57 (19%) were women. The editorial boards comprised 288 (77%) Caucasians, 62 (16%) Asians, 14 (4%) Hispanic/Latinos, 8 (2%) African Americans, and 4 (1%) Other individuals; 341 (91%) were men, and 35 (9%) were women. The National Institutes of Health grant recipients comprised 117 (64%) Caucasians, 58 (32%) Asians, 4 (2%) Hispanic/Latinos, and 3 (2%) African Americans; 128 (70%) were men, and 54 (30%) were women. On average, Caucasians, Asians, Hispanic/Latinos, and African Americans received $776,543, $439,600, $420,182, and $494,049, respectively. On average, men and women received $759,426 and $419,518, respectively. The accreditation boards comprised 45 (82%) Caucasians, 6 (11%) Asians, and 4 (7%) African Americans; 45 (82%) were men, and 10 (18%) were women.
Academic orthopaedic surgery does not resemble the United States. Residency, fellowship committees, and professional organization boards need to become aware of these disparities.
尽管已经研究了骨科住院医师培训计划的多样性，但尚未研究学术骨科的多样性。
探索了专业学会理事会、五个主要期刊和国家卫生研究院 RePORTER 工具以及三个认证组织。
理事会成员由 220 名（72%）白种人、36 名（12%）亚洲人、4 名（1%）西班牙裔/拉丁裔、29 名（9%）非裔美国人、和 18 名（6%）其他人员组成；250 名（81%）为男性，57 名（19%）为女性。编委会成员由 288 名（77%）白种人、62 名（16%）亚洲人、14 名（4%）西班牙裔/拉丁裔、8 名（2%）非裔美国人、和 4 名（1%）其他人员组成；341 名（91%）为男性，35 名（9%）为女性。国家卫生研究院资助获得者由 117 名（64%）白种人、58 名（32%）亚洲人、4 名（2%）西班牙裔/拉丁裔、和 3 名（2%）非裔美国人组成；128 名（70%）为男性，54 名（30%）为女性。平均而言，白种人、亚洲人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔和非裔美国人分别获得了 776543 美元、439600 美元、420182 美元和 494049 美元。平均而言，男性和女性分别获得了 759426 美元和 419518 美元。认证委员会由 45 名（82%）白种人、6 名（11%）亚洲人、和 4 名（7%）非裔美国人组成；45 名（82%）为男性，10 名（18%）为女性。
学术骨科手术与美国的情况并不相似。住院医师、研究员委员会和专业组织委员会需要意识到这些差异。
