Greece (1932), Ruth Jackson in the United States (1932), Loris Figgins
in Australia (1957), and Lvalina Burger in South Africa (1993) all chose
to specialize in orthopedics. Although there are dynamic female leaders
in orthopedic surgery, the field continues to present obstacles to
women. Role models, mentors, and exposure to the field have been lacking
for women. Although improvements have occurred in the past few decades,
further changes are necessary to attract, develop, and retain qualified
female candidates."
