What is OrthoEvidence and why is it useful?

 OrthoEvidence (OE) is a global digital content provider of the best evidence in orthopaedics. OE identifies, analyses, summarises, and grades the top 5% of published content and makes it available in an easy-to-read ACE (Advanced Clinical Evidence) format for users.

It can save you time by identifying and summarising the best evidence in this specialist field.

The Health Library has subscribed to OrthoEvidence and makes it available to researchers and professionals working with patients with musculoskeletal conditions.

You can access a range of content including:

ACE Reports (advanced clinical evidence reports)

These reports summarise selected high quality orthopaedic-based RCT papers, including analysis, critical appraisal and summary, in an easy-to-read format.
