Who is behind OrthoVellum, and how it is reviewed and corrected.
OrthoVellum is independently run. Pages are drafted with AI assistance, reviewed against the literature before publishing, and corrected when readers report problems. Every clinical claim is source-linked. There is no editorial board and no external peer review.

The byline OrthoVellum publishes under
Drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed and source-checked before publishing
The name OrthoVellum publishes under. OrthoVellum is independently run; content is drafted with AI assistance, reviewed against the primary literature, and corrected when readers report issues.
Writing and source-checking
Where most of the time goes
Drafting, evidence-linking, and clinical review
- Drafting each page with AI assistance, then reviewing it before publishing
- Checking claims against literature, guidelines, registries, and classifications
- Linking sources and labelling where images came from
Maintenance and corrections
Keeping it current
Updates, fixes, and reader reports
- Acting on the errors and broken references you report
- Updating pages as guidelines and evidence change
- Correcting or unpublishing pages that fall below the bar
Before a page goes live
Each page is read back for clinical sense, checked for what it is and what it is not, and confirmed to carry its sources and metadata in full.
When a reader reports a problem
A wrong fact, a confusing sentence, an out-of-date reference — every report is triaged, and the ones that matter most are fixed first.
Deciding what stays up
A page that slips below the bar is revised, corrected, or taken down until it is right again.
How this works day to day
- • OrthoVellum sets the bar for what gets published, triages reader corrections, and decides when a page is still good enough to stay up.
- • Source-checking, editorial disclosure, and running the site are kept completely separate from anything to do with advertising or revenue.
- • When a page needs fixing, the whole process is traceable across the authors, editorial policy, and how-a-page-is-made pages.
- • All of this is kept in the open, so readers can see how pages are maintained and exactly how to flag a problem.
