Implicit bias and microaggressions are well-known phenomenon and have recently been acknowledged as contributing to health care disparities. Within Hand Surgery, implicit bias and microaggressions occur in patient-surgeon, surgeon-peer, surgeon-staff, and training environment interactions. Although racial and gender biases are well studied, biases can also be based on age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and/or hierarchal rank. Academia has well-documented evidence of implicit bias and microaggressions, contributing to current disparate demographics of trainees, physicians, and leaders within Hand Surgery...

Christopher O Bayne
Patient race and ethnicity are important factors in health-care inequity, including care for the patient with hand and upper extremity pathologic condition. Physician diversity has been shown to promote better access, improve health-care quality, and improve satisfaction for underserved populations. Concordance, most often defined as a similarity or shared identity between physician and patient, has been shown to have a positive influence on health-care disparities. Although diversity among Hand surgeons is increasing, it is not matching the diversity of the population as a whole...

Marvin Dingle, Michael G Galvez
Hand surgery is a subspecialty that requires additional fellowship training after a primary residency; a long and competitive journey to achieve success. An underrepresented in medicine (UIM) student's journey to becoming a hand surgeon in the United States adds another level of challenge given several defined obstacles. Despite the lack of representation, the chances of becoming a hand surgeon are difficult but not impossible. A comprehensive strategy for an UIM student to become a hand surgeon is outlined in detail...

Hand surgeons and trainees face many challenges in pursuit of their professional and familial goals. The culture of the training programs must change to aknowledge and address the needs of women as they naviagate career and their childbearing years. Challenges to maternity and family planning dissuade and perhaps prohibit female trainees from choosing surgical specialties and of those who do, from reaching their full professional potential. In the following chapter we will review current data on infertility, obstetrical complications, breastfeeding, maternity leave, career advancement and childcare in an effort to increase support for female trainees and practicing female hand surgeons...

Mentorship and sponsorship are part of academia because they are vital for professional and personal development. Inclusive mentorship is defined as mentoring across differences. It highlights the need of all mentors to be well-versed culturally and to recognize and circumvent bias and microaggressions. Inclusive mentorship can also elevate underrepresented populations in medicine and create intercultural relationships that also benefit the relationships we have with our diversifying patient populations. There are still several barriers prohibiting inclusive mentorship from being widely understood and employed...

Micah K Sinclair, A Bobby Chhabra
All surgical fields that lead to a career in Hand Surgery have a stark lack of diversity of sex/gender and race, at every level of the workforce, from trainees to practicing physicians. Despite consistent statistics in publications on lack of diversity in surgical fields, a guide to effective recruitment and retention is lacking. Although we recognize that a strategy cannot be applied in all practices, this article provides actionable items to consider in the commitment and work toward a more just and equitable practice of Hand Surgery...

Angelo R Dacus, Brittany Behar, Kia Washington
Diversity in the Hand Surgery workforce improves the quality of care delivered, advances a wider variety of innovation within the field and leads to higher patient satisfaction, greater access to care and patient adherence to advice. An understanding of the data makes a compelling argument for change. Advocacy is necessary to stop the "leaky pipeline" of the loss of diversity in more senior and leadership roles. Hand surgeons who are both women and from underrepresented minority groups are especially vulnerable to bias from the health-care system, with focused support and mentoring required throughout their training and career...

Health equity requires allocation of resources to eliminate the systematic disparities in health, imposed on marginalized groups, which adversely impact outcomes. A socioecological approach is implemented to elucidate the role of health equity research and policy for underrepresented minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Through investigation of the individual, community, institution, and public policy, we investigate problems and propose solutions to ensure fair and just treatment of all patients requiring hand surgery...

Hand surgery encompasses a diaspora of pathology and patients, but the surgeons treating this population are not commensurately diverse. A physician population that reflects the population it treats consistently leads to improved patient outcomes. Despite increasing diversity amongst surgeons entering into pipeline specialties such as General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Orthopaedic Surgery, the overall makeup of practicing hand surgeons remains largely homogenous. This article outlines organizations, such as the Perry Initiative, which have increased recruitment of women and underrepresented minorities into pipeline programs...

Brent B Pickrell, Carl M Harper
Outside of Preiser and Kienbock disease, avascular necrosis (AVN) of the remaining carpal bones is a rare cause of wrist pain and disability with a natural history that is incompletely understood. At present, much of the available clinical information exists in the form of isolated case reports or small case series. Although reported surgical treatment options are numerous, there is a dearth of comparative studies and long-term outcomes data with which to guide management.

The term Preiser's disease typically is used to describe idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid, but there have been a number of putative etiologies considered. It is rare and the natural history is not fully understood. Management of the condition should be based on patient factors as well as the stage of disease with regard to the scaphoid and the surrounding wrist. This chapter appraises the available evidence and aims to provide the reader with a framework to manage this rare condition.

Wrist arthroscopy represents the most recent development in the diagnosis and treatment of Kienböck disease. Through direct visualization of lunate and adjacent carpal articulations, a more accurate diagnosis can be obtained and, ultimately, a more precise treatment decision. Treatments that are based on bypassing, fusing, or excising "nonfunctional" articulations can be done with less morbidity than traditional open techniques by using arthroscopy. Given the minimal capsular and soft tissue scarring, this potentially improves early pain and functional recovery...

Kienbock's disease is a progressive condition characterized by lunate collapse, carpal instability, and eventually perilunate arthritis. Etiology is likely multifactorial, including vascular and anatomic or osseus causes. In cases of advanced disease, disabling pain, limited motion, and decreased grip strength may be present. The preferred treatment options for the nonreconstructable wrist are proximal row carpectomy (PRC), total wrist arthrodesis, and total wrist arthroplasty (TWA). In the following chapter, we will discuss various surgical options for patients with advanced Kienbock's disease...
