EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE Products Reference Library Orthofix approach to Evidence Based Medicine: For years, clinical decision-making was based primarily on physician knowledge and expert opinion. Now the medical community is searching for measurable outcomes “validating” efficacy of treatments. EBM is an approach that integrates individual clinical expertise with the best available evidence when making decisions about patient treatment. (Nierengarten M.B. et al. Using Evidence Based Medicine in Orthopaedic Clinical Practice: The Why, When, and How-To Approach. Medscape Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine. 2001;5(1)). There has been a significant growth in evidence based medicine over the last few years. Document Objective: This document contains the bibliography of each Orthofix product. The lists of articles are reported in chronological order, starting from the oldest publication. Under each reference there is a link to the article abstract, if available on PubMed or on the specific journal web site. Please note that the full text articles are covered by copyright, owned in most of cases, by the journal editors.
