To date, there has been a paucity of research evaluating the demographics, characteristics, and surgical training of orthopaedic residency program directors (PDs).
To determine the objective characteristics of orthopaedic residency PDs by analyzing their demographic characteristics, academic backgrounds, institutional histories, research productivity, and professional leadership affiliations.
Data for each PD were collected by searching publicly available , LinkedIn, Healthgrades, Doximity, and/or institutional biographies and consolidated into a database. Research productivities were collected by searching PubMed and Scopus.
Of the 210 PDs, 188 (89.5%) were male and 22 (10.5%) were female. One hundred seventy-four (82.9%) were non-Hispanic White, 14 (6.7%) Asian American and Pacific Islander, 12 (5.7%) Black or African American, 4 (1.9%) Hispanic or Latino, and 6 (2.9%) other/unknown. Twenty-four (11.4%) PDs had a military affiliation. Moreover, the most common subspecialties among orthopaedic PDs were orthopaedic traumatology (19.5%, n = 41), sports medicine (15.7%, n = 33), and hand surgery (11.9%, n = 25). The mean Scopus -index, total number of publications at the time of data collection (June 2022), and total number of citations for all orthopaedic residency PDs were 10.5 ± 9.5, 33.9 ± 51.0, and 801.9 ± 1,536.4, respectively. Among all PDs, the mean tenure in the position was 8.9 ± 6.2 years to date, and the mean time from completion of residency to appointment as PD was 10.0 ± 6.2 years.
Among orthopaedic surgery residency PDs, there is sparse female and minority representation. Overarchingly, orthopaedic PDs are White men in their early 50s. Moreover, 59.1% of PDs were appointed at an institution where they completed medical school, residency, or fellowship. orthopaedic traumatology (19.5%), sports medicine (15.7%), and hand surgery (11.9%) were the subspecialties most represented in current orthopaedic surgery PDs.
This study outlines important demographic characteristics among orthopaedic surgery residency PDs.

迄今为止，评估骨科住院医师培训项目主任（PDs）的人口统计学特征、特点和外科培训的研究很少。
通过分析骨科住院医师培训项目主任的人口统计学特征、学术背景、机构历史、研究生产力和专业领导关系，确定其客观特征。
通过搜索公开可用的领英、健康评级、多西美蒂和/或机构传记收集每个项目主任的数据，并整合到一个数据库中。通过搜索PubMed和Scopus收集研究生产力数据。
在210名项目主任中，188名（89.5%）为男性，22名（10.5%）为女性。174名（82.9%）为非西班牙裔白人，14名（6.7%）为亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民，12名（5.7%）为黑人或非裔美国人，4名（1.9%）为西班牙裔或拉丁裔，6名（2.9%）为其他/身份不明。24名（11.4%）项目主任有军事背景。此外，骨科项目主任中最常见的亚专业是骨科创伤学（19.5%，n = 41）、运动医学（15.7%，n = 33）和手外科（11.9%，n = 25）。在数据收集时（2022年6月），所有骨科住院医师培训项目主任的Scopus指数平均值、出版物总数和总被引次数分别为10.5±9.5、33.9±51.0和801.9±1536.4。在所有项目主任中，到目前为止担任该职位的平均任期为8.9±6.2年，从完成住院医师培训到被任命为项目主任的平均时间为10.0±6.2年。
在骨科手术住院医师培训项目主任中，女性和少数族裔代表稀少。总体而言，骨科项目主任是50岁出头的白人男性。此外，59.1%的项目主任是在他们完成医学院、住院医师培训或专科培训的机构被任命的。骨科创伤学（19.5%）、运动医学（15.7%）和手外科（11.9%）是目前骨科手术项目主任中最具代表性的亚专业。
本研究概述了骨科手术住院医师培训项目主任的重要人口统计学特征。
