Fig. 1.
This figure details the growth of practicing women orthopaedic surgeons versus women orthopaedic first and senior authorship from 1987 to 2017. *Indicates that the rate of growth of women orthopaedic senior authorship was less than that of practicing women orthopaedic surgeons (d = 5.3, 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.8-5.6; p = 0.023) and of women orthopaedic surgeon first authorship (d = -4.3, 95% CI -4.6 to -3.6; p = 0.030); pooled estimated mean for comparison was 3.3, p = 0.014). %W Ortho = the proportion of practicing women orthopaedic surgeons, slope of best fit line, m = 0.84; %W Ortho 1st = the proportion of women orthopaedic surgeon first authors, slope of best fist line, m = 0.93; %W Ortho Sr = the proportion of women orthopaedic surgeon senior authors, slope of best fit line, m = 0.25.
