There is a paucity of literature analysing the importance of leadership within trauma and orthopaedics. However, such skills are essential to make an orthopaedic surgeon proficient in their various roles. This literature review on leadership within orthopaedics enables an understanding of current issues. A narrative literature review was conducted using Pubmed, Medline and The National Centre for Biotechnology databases. The search string used to conduct the narrative literature review was (orthopaedic) and (leadership[Title]). The articles were screened by title, abstract and full text. A reference search was subsequently conducted on these papers using the same inclusion and exclusion criteria. The papers then underwent a thematic analysis to understand the issues surrounding leadership in orthopaedics. The critical themes recognised were quality improvement, training, women in leadership, inequality and traits of a leader. Through reviewing the themes in this article, a framework was developed to identify the current issues and potential avenues of advancing orthopaedic leadership. This narrative literature review has demonstrated a paucity of research in orthopaedic leadership. Further work would create a robust evidence base, outline ideal orthopaedic leadership and standardise training to create better orthopaedic leaders.
关于创伤骨科领导力的文献分析较为匮乏。然而，这些技能对于使骨科医生在各种角色中变得熟练是必不可少的。本文对骨科领导力的文献回顾使人们能够了解当前的问题。使用 Pubmed、Medline 和国家生物技术信息中心数据库进行了叙述性文献综述。用于进行叙述性文献综述的搜索字符串是（矫形外科）和（领导力[标题]）。通过标题、摘要和全文筛选文章。然后使用相同的纳入和排除标准对这些论文进行参考文献搜索。然后对这些论文进行主题分析，以了解骨科领导力方面的问题。确定的关键主题有质量改进、培训、女性领导力、不平等和领导者特质。通过回顾本文中的主题，制定了一个框架来确定当前的问题和推进骨科领导力的潜在途径。这项叙述性文献综述表明，在骨科领导力方面的研究还很匮乏。进一步的研究将建立一个强大的证据基础，概述理想的骨科领导力，并规范培训，以培养更好的骨科领导者。
