Evidence-based medicine for orthopedic surgeons.
Evidence-based medicine is a rational, logical approach for clinicians to make decisions about how to handle the large amount of new medical information. Its basis is the scientific method. The practicing clinician need understand only a few simple concepts to use this approach, and in doing so will provide the best available care to the patients.
