Surgical science has evolved from the meticulously recorded anatomical and pathological experiments applied by Hunter to the use of large observational studies and randomised clinical trials. These modern epidemiological techniques, supported by appropriate statistics, are helping us to answer many questions in surgery. Perhaps nowhere in surgery have these techniques been applied as thoroughly as in orthopaedic thromboembolism.
外科学已从亨特所进行的详尽记录的解剖学和病理学实验,发展到运用大型观察性研究和随机临床试验。这些在适当统计学支持下的现代流行病学技术,正帮助我们解答外科学中的诸多问题。或许在外科学领域,这些技术在骨科血栓栓塞方面的应用最为彻底。
