Improving how orthopedic journals report research outcomes based on sex and gender

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Sex-based differences in cell biology, tissue function, and anatomy impact disease risk, presentation, and treatment outcomes,1 including in musculoskeletal care.2-4 As such, these differences should influence how orthopedic surgeons and other health care professionals conduct research and provide care for patients who have musculoskeletal disease and injury. In addition, gender roles influence interactions with people who conduct research and with health care professionals as well as the likelihood that patients will seek care and how they will respond to treatment.
