About Ortho Digest

Ortho Digest is an independent educational tool that scans publicly available orthopaedic and sports medicine literature from PubMed and delivers structured weekly summaries to subscribers. It is operated as a personal project and is not affiliated with any hospital, medical school, journal publisher, or professional society.

Not medical advice

All content on Ortho Digest - including AI-generated article summaries, weekly digests, level-of-evidence tags, takeaway statements, and audio narrations - is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

This content does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. It should not be used as a substitute for professional clinical judgement, peer-reviewed primary literature, or established clinical guidelines. Ortho Digest accepts no liability for clinical decisions made based on content viewed on this platform.

AI-generated content

Article summaries, takeaway statements, level-of-evidence assignments, and audio narrations are generated using large language model AI. AI output may contain errors, omissions, or mischaracterisations of the underlying source material. All AI-generated content should be verified against the original publication before reliance. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or clinical appropriateness of any AI-generated summary.

Source content

Article titles, authors, abstracts, publication dates, and journal names are sourced from the public PubMed / NCBI API and remain the intellectual property of their respective authors and publishers. Ortho Digest does not reproduce full article text and does not claim any rights over source journal content. Links to original publications are provided for reference.

• Scrape, bulk-download, or systematically copy digest content.
