Objective: To analyze the representation of women at the societal level within the Asociación Argentina de Ortopedia y Traumatología (AAOT). Materials and Methods: An observational and descriptive study was conducted analyzing data obtained from the period between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019. The proportion of women members of the AAOT, as well as their participation at the institutional, hierarchical, and academic levels, was assessed. Results: Women represent 10.6% of all AAOT members. Twelve women actively participate in the different Committees of the Association, which represents 16% of the total number of members. During the study period, 2.8% of the positions on the Board of Directors were held by women. In the history of the AAOT, only one woman has served as President. In 2019, women made up 6.9% of teachers who taught the Biannual Official National Orthopedics and Traumatology Certification Course. Conclusion: Women represent 10.6% of AAOT members. Knowing their situation within the AAOT allows laying the foundations to implement measures aimed at improving equity in Orthopedics and Traumatology.

Keywords : Women in Orthopedics and Traumatology; female representation; diversity in Orthopedics and Traumatology.
