Orthopaedic surgery continues to be the least diverse subspecialty in medicine. The current culture and implicit bias contribute to the difficulty in recruiting qualified individuals who do not fit the stereotypical orthopaedic surgeon mold. Bullying, discrimination, and sexual harassment persist in our specialty, creating an unwelcoming environment for diverse students considering orthopaedics. Active effort must be employed to create a more welcoming culture. •Culture and stereotypes influence students' choice of specialties.•Current culture in orthopaedic surgery is unfavorable for recruitment from diverse student populations.•Bias, discrimination, and harassment continue to hinder the progress of diversity initiatives.•More work is necessary to alter the culture in orthopaedic surgery.
骨科手术仍然是医学领域中多样性最少的亚专业。当前的文化和隐性偏见导致难以招募到不符合传统骨科医生模式的合格人员。在我们这个专业中，欺凌、歧视和性骚扰现象依然存在，为考虑从事骨科的不同学生营造了一个不友好的环境。必须积极努力营造一种更友好的文化。
•文化和刻板印象影响学生对专业的选择。
•骨科手术的当前文化不利于从不同学生群体中招募人才。
•偏见、歧视和骚扰继续阻碍多元化倡议的进展。
•需要做更多工作来改变骨科手术领域的文化。
