Abstract
The contemporary practice of orthopaedic surgery requires an evidence-based approach to support all medical and surgical interventions. In this essay, the author expresses a forthright, personal and somewhat prejudiced appeal to retain the legitimacy of clinical decision making in conditions that are rare, contain multiple variables, have a solution that generally works or has an unpredictable course.
