The most sophisticated practice of evidence-based orthopaedics requires a clear delineation of relevant clinical questions, a thorough search of the literature relating to the questions, a critical appraisal of available evidence and its applicability to the clinical situation, and a balanced application of the conclusions to the clinical problem. The balanced application of the evidence (i.e., clinical decision-making) is the central point of practicing evidence-based medicine and involves an integration of our clinical expertise and judgment with patients' and societal values and with the best available research evidence.
