Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Clinical Practice Guideline and Systematic Review
Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) and Systematic Reviews (SR) provide evidence-based recommendations for current orthopaedic diagnostic, treatment, and postoperative procedures. Multidisciplinary clinician work groups and AAOS staff work together to synthesize published research with the aim of providing a transparent and robust summary of the research findings for a particular orthopaedic disease topic.

MSTS Appropriate Use Criteria
Appropriate use criteria (AUC) provide treatment recommendations on a patient-specific level. A multidisciplinary clinician writing panel creates realistic patient profiles who may present with a particular orthopaedic disease in a clinical setting. A separate multidisciplinary clinician voting panel uses a modified Delphi method to rate the appropriateness of various procedures for those patient profiles.
