Editorial standards for the wrist pages
Who writes them
The wrist guides are written by the JointLens team that runs Analyze My Wrist. We are software and content people, not hand surgeons or radiologists, and no medical reviewer reads the pages before they go live. Each guide is published as Analyze My Wrist so you can see exactly who is responsible.
AI, drafting and translation
AI language models help with first drafts and with translation. A team member shapes and edits each wrist page and checks its medical claims against the sources it cites. The non-English pages are AI translations of the English page; if they disagree, the English page is correct. The analyzer is different: several general-purpose AI models describe the wrist images you pick, and those answers are shown to you without human review.
Sources behind the wrist pages
For the TFCC we work from Palmer's original classification; for Kienböck disease, from the Lichtman stages. We add peer-reviewed reviews from PubMed, for instance on scaphoid fractures that are missed on the first X-ray, and guidance from the American Society for Surgery of the Hand and the American College of Radiology. The main references for each medical page are listed in its Sources section. Product pages and forums are not used.
Information only
Our wrist pages are not medical advice and not a diagnosis. They can explain an ulnar-positive variance or a scapholunate gap, but not whether your wrist needs a cast, an injection or an operation. Tenderness in the anatomical snuffbox after a fall should be checked by a clinician even if the first X-ray looked normal. See the Medical Disclaimer.
When pages are revisited
Guides show an Updated date. We re-check a wrist page when the classification or guideline behind it changes, or when a reader reports an error. We keep no fixed review schedule and do not claim one.

Use the form below to point out a mistake. Mention the page and the wording that seems wrong, and a source if you have one. We fix confirmed errors and update the page date.
Wrist scans are handled in your browser
The wrist images you open are processed in your browser tab and never saved on our servers. An AI request carries only rendered images of the slices you chose and your text. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
