Although a commerical site, there is plenty of useful information about orthopedics for consumers. The first screen has graphical links to the knee, shoulder, ankle, spine, hand and elbow, with each link providing anatomical information and conditions requiring medical intervention. Surgical procedures are illustrated and discussed in basic terms. Additional links include pediatric orthopedics and an in-depth look at arthritis of the hip and knee. A major focus appears to be patient education.
