OrthoEvidence is an evidence-based resource that helps orthopaedic and musculoskeletal professionals stay current with important clinical research. We identify, critically appraise, and summarize high-quality studies so clinicians can understand new evidence more quickly and apply it to practice.

OrthoEvidence is designed for orthopaedic surgeons, residents, researchers, physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals, nurses, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals interested in musculoskeletal care.

An Advanced Clinical Evidence (ACE™) Report is a concise critical appraisal of an important orthopaedic or musculoskeletal study. Each report summarizes the research question, methods, results, limitations, and clinical implications in an easy-to-read format.

ACE Reports can typically be read in approximately five minutes and are up to 85% shorter than the original publication. They highlight the information clinicians need to quickly understand a study's findings, quality, and relevance. OrthoEvidence describes its reporting process and time savings here.

OrthoEvidence primarily covers high-quality randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses related to orthopaedic and musculoskeletal care. The platform also features conference reports, author interviews, educational videos, original articles, and other evidence-based content.

OrthoEvidence covers arthroplasty, foot and ankle, general orthopaedics, hand and wrist, metabolic disorders, osteoarthritis, pediatric orthopaedics, peri-operative care, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, shoulder and elbow, spine, sports medicine, trauma, and musculoskeletal tumours.

OrthoEvidence monitors leading medical journals and identifies studies that are methodologically strong, clinically relevant, and likely to influence musculoskeletal practice. Selected studies then undergo a structured appraisal and summarization process.

New ACE Reports and other content are added each week, as important research is published. Users can explore recently added evidence or subscribe to OrthoEvidence communications to stay informed.

Some OrthoEvidence content is publicly accessible, while full access to ACE Reports, Ask OE, and member features requires an active account or subscription.
