Introduction: Evidence based anatomy is a branch of epidemiological anatomy. In this commentary, we propose the four pillars of Evidence based Anatomy. The foundation is formed by Sackett et al’s article. The foundation is reinforced by Yaminne et al’s article. The pillars being formed by evidence, knowledge, application of knowledge and training of researchers (E-KAT) was proposed in this study.
Methods and Results: We conducted a review adhering to PRISMA guidelines. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar. 2 review authors screened the retrieved citations, downloaded the citations in PDF format and it was cross-checked by another review author. CASP tool was used to assess the quality of the articles retrieved.
We included and retrieved 8 articles related to evidence based anatomy. The articles were reviewed and findings written.
Conclusion: The highest level of evidence is Meta-analysis. This article describes the past, present and future of evidence based anatomy. Evidence based Anatomy will bring out high quality research in anatomy.
Keywords: Evidence based anatomy, Median arcuate ligament.
