Orthopaedic surgery is one of the least diverse fields in medicine. Barriers to increasing the racial, gender, and sexual minority diversity of residents include pervasive negative impressions about the culture in orthopaedic surgery; lack of early exposure to and education about orthopaedics; new large-scale diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that have yet to become fully established; and lack of mentorship from those with shared backgrounds, gender, sexual orientation, or race. Recently, there have been several pipeline initiatives aimed at exposing women and underrepresented minority students to orthopaedics and medicine early in their careers, which have shown remarkable success. Toward this goal, recent recommendations from Nth Dimensions have provided a toolkit to help recruit and maintain diverse trainees. Furthermore, advocating for further funding and support of initiatives from national organizations that lead the field of orthopaedics will be paramount to institutionalizing efforts of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the orthopaedic community.
骨科手术是医学领域中多样性最少的领域之一。增加住院医师种族、性别和性少数群体多样性的障碍包括对骨科手术文化普遍存在的负面印象；缺乏早期接触骨科和骨科教育；尚未完全确立的新的大规模多元化、公平和包容倡议；以及缺乏来自具有相同背景、性别、性取向或种族的人的指导。最近，有几项输送管道倡议旨在让女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生在其职业生涯早期接触骨科和医学，这些倡议已取得显著成功。为实现这一目标，Nth Dimensions最近的建议提供了一个工具包，以帮助招募和留住多样化的学员。此外，倡导为引领骨科领域的国家组织的倡议提供更多资金和支持，对于将骨科界的多元化、公平和包容努力制度化至关重要。
