To interpret the quality of the information presented in an orthopaedic study, it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of study design principles and statistics. Similarly, to conduct a study, surgeons need to understand the basic research concepts to consider during the design phase to ensure the results add as much evidence as possible. This article presents the basics of study design and statistical concepts relevant to an orthopaedic surgical researcher.
