How OrthoVellum decides whether a page belongs in the library.
The methodology page explains how educational material is selected, source-checked, disclosed, corrected, and withheld when it is not ready for publication.

Workflow
Content method in practice
Topic selection and scope definition
Each page is scoped around a clearly defined orthopaedic topic, procedure, imaging principle, or exam task before drafting begins.
Structured evidence review and drafting
Drafts are organised around clinical learning needs, then checked against textbooks, guidelines, registry data, landmark papers, and peer-reviewed references relevant to orthopaedic training.
Source and editorial review
Pages are reviewed for factual consistency, terminology, source visibility, image attribution, and alignment with the site editorial policy before publication or republication.
Ongoing correction and update cycle
User feedback, guideline changes, and identified errors trigger revision work. Material that falls below publication standards can be corrected, rewritten, or temporarily unpublished until fixed.

Publication Gates
Source and indexing rules
Source and evidence standards
- Peer-reviewed studies, major textbooks, registry publications, and society guidance are preferred over unattributed summaries.
- Educational pages should make clinical claims traceable to references, classifications, or explicit editorial synthesis.
- Regional nuance is explained in context rather than hidden inside unsupported treatment statements.
Indexing and publication rules
- Educational pages should provide substantive clinical text rather than thin placeholders.
- Pages with unresolved quality or structural issues can be held back from publication until corrected.
- Canonical metadata, trust-page cross-links, and accessible correction routes are treated as part of publication quality.
