Abstract

Orthopedic surgeons on X were more likely to have higher academic rank, leadership titles, and dual degrees, although gender disparities persisted with women X users harboring lower rates of full professorship. Women orthopedic surgeons were more actively engaged with other posts on X. The motivation behind these trends is worthy of further study.
