Who writes the medical content on this website?
A medical content team drafts each page, and Dr. William Rossy reviews the clinical content before it is published.
He also performs hip arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and instruments, and cartilage restoration procedures, the two procedures most directly tied to his focus areas of the shoulder, hip, knee and sports medicine.
Is this information reviewed by a doctor?
Yes. Dr. William Rossy completed his sports medicine fellowship at Harvard-Massachusetts General Hospital, and that training shapes how shoulder, hip, knee and sports medicine content on this site is reviewed for accuracy.
Where do the facts and statistics on this site come from?
Every number on this site names its source and the year it was reported.
When a page states a recovery timeline or a prevalence figure, it credits the organization that published it, such as the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Facts about Dr. Rossy's training, including his residency at NYU Langone-Hospital for Joint Diseases and his medical degree from Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School, come directly from his verified professional record, not from estimates.
How often is the content on this site updated?
Pages are checked on a regular schedule and updated whenever clinical guidance changes.
Content tied to Dr. Rossy's practice, such as the sports-related injuries, shoulder ailments and multi-ligamentous knee injuries he treats at Princeton Orthopaedic Associates in Princeton, NJ, is confirmed directly with his office rather than assumed.
Does this website give medical advice?
No. The information here is educational.
It explains conditions and procedures in plain language so you can have a more informed conversation with your doctor, but it does not replace an exam or a diagnosis. If you have symptoms related to the shoulder, hip or knee, the next step is an evaluation, not a conclusion drawn from a web page.
This page is for general information only and is not medical advice.
