How Analyze My Knee writes and checks its pages
Who writes the knee pages
Every condition page and guide on Analyze My Knee is written and published by the small team behind JointLens, the same people who build the viewer. No orthopaedic surgeon, radiologist or other clinician writes or reviews these pages, and we do not name one. When a guide says it was published by Analyze My Knee, that means our team and nobody else.
How we use AI
AI language models help us draft and translate. A team member chooses what a page covers, edits the draft, and checks each medical statement against published sources before the page goes live. The eight non-English versions are translated with AI from the English page, so where the wording differs, the English page is the reference. The analyzer is a separate thing: when you ask it about your knee MRI or X-ray, several general-purpose AI models write the answer on the spot, and no person checks that answer before you read it.
Where our knee facts come from
We use three kinds of source: the original papers behind the grading systems we explain, such as the Kellgren–Lawrence scale for knee osteoarthritis and the Outerbridge scale for cartilage damage; peer-reviewed review articles indexed in PubMed; and guidance from professional bodies such as the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American College of Radiology. Medical pages list their main references in a Sources section so you can read them yourself. Forums, clinic marketing and other symptom websites do not count as evidence for us.
What these pages are not
Nothing here is medical advice or a diagnosis. A page about meniscus tears can explain the words on your MRI report, but it cannot tell you whether your knee needs surgery, physiotherapy or simply time. That decision belongs to a clinician who has examined you and seen your images. Our Medical Disclaimer sets out the limits in full.
How we keep knee pages current
Each guide shows the date it was last updated. We re-check a knee page when a guideline or classification it relies on changes, or when a reader reports a problem with it. We are a small team and do not promise a fixed review date for every page; we would rather say so than claim a review that did not happen.
Reporting an error
If you spot a mistake, an outdated statement or a broken source link, send it through the feedback form below. Tell us the page address and what looks wrong. Messages reach the team that writes these pages; we correct confirmed errors and update the page date when the content changes.
Your knee scans stay in your browser
Knee images you open here are read by code in your own browser and are not uploaded to our servers. If you ask for an AI explanation, only rendered pictures of the slices you picked and the text you typed are sent, never the original files. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
