How we create our content

The Playbook and the pages on this website are written to help patients, parents and athletes understand injuries, treatment and recovery in plain language.

Who writes and reviews our content

Articles are written for Rochester Hills Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. When a member of our clinical team has reviewed an article, their name, credentials and the review date are shown at the top of the article (“Medically reviewed by”).

Sources

We base medical information on current clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed research and the experience of our clinicians. When an article relies on specific studies or guidelines, we list them under “Sources”.

Keeping content current

We review articles regularly and update them when guidance changes. Each article shows when it was last updated or reviewed.

Not medical advice

Our content is general information. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment plan and does not replace a visit. If you have symptoms, book an appointment. In an emergency, call 911.

Independence

We do not accept paid placements in our articles. When we recommend a product or program, such as a surgical nutrition program, it is because our clinicians recommend it to patients.

Corrections

If you see something that looks wrong or out of date, please tell us.
