- The JBJS symposium focused on the importance of including sex and gender in orthopaedic research to enhance study methods and patient outcomes, addressing current shortcomings in reporting.
- Barriers to proper reporting stem from cultural resistance, inadequate education on terminology and study design, insufficient funding for larger studies, and the need for better understanding of how biological and social factors like gender and race interact in health research.
- To overcome these challenges, the development of best-practice statistical methods and ongoing education for all stakeholders in research is crucial, with existing guidelines like the SAGER providing a framework for improvement and support from academic institutions and funders being essential for meaningful progress.
Importance: Gender inequity in access to and outcomes of orthopedic care demands research that properly analyses data based on sex and gender. Orthopedic surgeons have an obligation to mitigate gender inequity in the provision of care by addressing the sex and gender bias in orthopedic research methodology, grant funding, and publication demonstrated by this review. This study aimed to review the literature on known gender inequities in orthopedic care, as well as sex and gender bias in orthopedic research methodology, funding, and publication; and to then to outline mitigating strategies.
