How these pages are written
Every page here that describes a condition or a treatment carries a version number, the date it was last reviewed and the date it is next due. This page explains what those mean and who stands behind them.
Who writes them
The clinical content is written for Dr Lai Kah Weng’s practice and reviewed by him before it is published. The name of the reviewing clinician appears at the foot of every page, so you can see who is accountable for what you are reading.
Pages that have not yet been through that review say so. Nothing is published under a clinician’s name that the clinician has not read.
What the dates mean
Version is the edition of the page you are reading. It changes when the substance changes, not when a typo is corrected.
Review date is when a clinician last read the page in full and confirmed it. Next review is when it is due to be read again. Medical practice changes, and a page last checked years ago deserves more caution than one checked recently — publishing both dates lets you judge that for yourself instead of having to assume.
Why some pages are marked unfinished
Where something has not yet been written or checked, the page says so in square brackets rather than filling the space with something plausible. A placeholder is visible to you and is deliberately withheld from search engines, so nothing unverified is presented anywhere as fact.
It is less tidy than the alternative. It is also the only version of this site that is honest about what it does not yet say.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, out of date or unclear, please tell the clinic. Corrections are made to the page, and the version and review dates are updated with them.
Nothing on this site is a substitute for a consultation. These pages describe how conditions are generally assessed and what the options usually are; what applies to your knee depends on findings only an examination can establish.
