Women are underrepresented in orthopaedic and trauma surgery worldwide, with proportions of 4%-17% across countries and 9.1% in France. The annual meeting of the French Society for Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery (SOFCOT) provides opportunities for quantifying the representation of women, which has not yet been accurately evaluated. The objectives of this retrospective study were: 1) to evaluate the proportion of women relative to men who submitted abstracts accepted for presentation at annual SOFCOT meetings, 2) to analyse this proportion in each abstract category, and 3) to compare the professional profiles of submitting authors.
Among authors with abstracts accepted for presentation at annual SOFCOT meetings, only a minority were women.
This retrospective study evaluated all abstracts accepted for presentation at the annual SOFCOT meetings held in 2021, 2022, and 2023. For each accepted abstract, the gender and professional profile of the submitting author were assessed. The female/male ratio was determined for each abstract category and professional profile for each of the three years.
The female/male ratio among authors of abstracts accepted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 was 161/923 (14.9% women), 128/541 (19.1%), and 120/550 (17.9%). The proportion of women was significantly less than the proportion of men for abstracts on the knee (41/333, 11% women (p = 0.0008)), hip (23/209, 9.9% (p = 0.002)), trauma (53 /358, 12,9% (p = 0.017)), and tumours (14/119, 10.5% (p = 0.04)). The proportion of women was also significantly smaller than the proportion of men among residents/fellows (154/491, 23.5% (p < 0.0001)), senior surgeons in non-university institutions (42/400, 11.5% (p < 0.0001)), and senior surgeons in university hospitals (23/164, 12.3% (p = 0.009)).
The representation of women compared to men remains low at annual SOFCOT meetings despite being greater than the overall representation of women among orthopaedic surgeons in France. These results highlight the appeal of research and growing interest for orthopaedic surgery among women. Scientific societies and surgical teams must continue to encourage this dynamic.

在全球范围内，女性在骨科和创伤外科领域的占比不足，各国该比例在4%至17%之间，法国为9.1%。法国骨科和创伤外科学会（SOFCOT）的年会为量化女性代表比例提供了契机，而这一比例尚未得到准确评估。这项回顾性研究的目的是：1）评估在SOFCOT年会上提交并被接受展示的摘要中，女性相对于男性的比例；2）分析每个摘要类别中的这一比例；3）比较提交作者的专业概况。
在SOFCOT年会上提交并被接受展示摘要的作者中，只有少数是女性。
这项回顾性研究评估了在2021年、2022年和2023年举行的SOFCOT年会上被接受展示的所有摘要。对于每篇被接受的摘要，评估提交作者的性别和专业概况。确定了这三年中每个摘要类别和专业概况的女性/男性比例。
2021年、2022年和2023年被接受摘要的作者中，女性/男性比例分别为161/923（女性占14.9%）、128/541（19.1%）和120/550（17.9%）。在关于膝关节的摘要中，女性比例显著低于男性（41/333，女性占11%（p = 0.0008））、髋关节（23/209，9.9%（p = 0.002））、创伤（53/358，12.9%（p = 0.017））和肿瘤（14/119，10.5%（p = 0.04））。在住院医师/研究员中，女性比例也显著低于男性（154/491，23.5%（p < 0.0001））、非大学机构的高级外科医生（42/400，11.5%（p < 0.0001））以及大学医院的高级外科医生（23/164，12.3%（p = 0.009））。
尽管女性在SOFCOT年会上的占比高于法国骨科外科医生中的总体占比，但与男性相比，女性的占比仍然较低。这些结果凸显了研究的吸引力以及女性对骨科手术日益增长的兴趣。科学协会和手术团队必须继续鼓励这种发展态势。
