Despite being a social construct, race has an impact on outcomes in musculoskeletal spine care. Race is associated with other social determinants of health that may predispose patients to worse outcomes. The musculoskeletal spine literature is limited in its understanding of the causes of race-related outcome trends. Efforts to mitigate race-related disparities in spine care require individual, institutional, and national initiatives. Copyright © 2024 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated.
