Editorial standards

Who writes the information on this website?

Ross Wodicka's clinical team writes and reviews every page on this site.

Ross Wodicka is an orthopedic surgeon in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, whose practice centers on sports medicine, and every sports medicine page is checked against his direct clinical experience before it is published.

Does a physician review this information before it's published?

Yes. Ross Wodicka reviews each clinical page for accuracy before it goes live, with particular attention to sports medicine topics, the subspecialty in which he completed fellowship training at the Southern California Orthopaedic Institute (SCOI).

Where do the medical facts on this site come from?

Each clinical fact is drawn from a named, checkable source, such as a peer reviewed study or a specialty society, and that source is stated in the text itself rather than left as an unattributed claim.

How often is this information updated?

Pages are reviewed on a regular schedule and revised whenever a treatment approach, clinical guideline, or physician credential changes, so the content reflects current practice rather than a page written once and left in place.

Is anything on this website medical advice?

No. The information here is educational, meant to help you prepare for a conversation with Ross Wodicka or another qualified physician, and it is not a substitute for an in-person evaluation or diagnosis.
