To evaluate the gender composition of fellows, faculty, and leaders within orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs to provide a more complete description of gender diversity within this subspecialty.
Official program websites of orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships listed on the Arthroscopy Association of North America fellowship directory were examined. Data collected for analysis included the gender of program directors, fellowship faculty, orthopaedic surgery department faculty, current sports medicine fellows, and fellows who graduated within the last 5 years.
Of the 132 orthopaedic sports medicine fellows in training in the United States in the 2021 to 2022 academic year, 113 (85.6%) were men and 19 (14.4%) were women ( < .001). Within the past 5 years, 419 fellows were listed as completing a sports medicine fellowship, with 375 (89.5%) being men, and 44 (10.5%) being women ( < .001). There was no significant difference in the gender composition of current fellows compared with the composition of fellows within the last 5 years ( = .74). When we examined gender trends in sports medicine faculty, 639 (86.6%) were men and 99 (13.4%) were women ( < .001). There were 14 women (14.4%) orthopaedic sports medicine faculty in leadership positions (i.e., program director or assistant program director) compared with 83 men in such positions (85.6%) ( < .001).
Orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships remain heavily male-dominated on all levels, including fellows, faculty, and leadership. There were no differences in the gender composition of current fellows when compared with those who graduated in the last 5 years, suggesting persistent gender disparity and the need for novel initiatives to enhance gender diversity in sports medicine.

评估骨科运动医学 fellowship 项目中研究员、教员和领导者的性别构成，以更全面地描述该亚专业领域的性别多样性。
对北美关节镜协会 fellowship 名录中列出的骨科运动医学 fellowship 项目的官方网站进行审查。收集用于分析的数据包括项目主任、fellowship 教员、骨外科系教员、现任运动医学研究员以及过去 5 年内毕业的研究员的性别。
在 2021 至 2022 学年美国接受培训的 132 名骨科运动医学研究员中，113 名（85.6%）为男性，19 名（14.4%）为女性（P <.001）。在过去 5 年中，有 419 名研究员被列为完成了运动医学 fellowship，其中 375 名（89.5%）为男性，44 名（10.5%）为女性（P <.001）。与过去 5 年的研究员构成相比，现任研究员的性别构成没有显著差异（P =.74）。当我们研究运动医学教员的性别趋势时，639 名（86.6%）为男性，99 名（13.4%）为女性（P <.001）。担任领导职务（即项目主任或助理项目主任）的骨科运动医学教员中有 14 名女性（14.4%），而担任此类职务的男性有 83 名（85.6%）（P <.001）。
骨科运动医学 fellowship 在各个层面，包括研究员、教员和领导层，仍然以男性为主导。与过去 5 年毕业的研究员相比，现任研究员的性别构成没有差异，这表明性别差距持续存在，需要采取新的举措来提高运动医学领域的性别多样性。
