3 steps to edit an Orthopaedia article: 

1. Find the article you want to edit
2. Click "Page Operations" in the left navigation
3. Click "Edit" 

Here are some basics for when to edit an article:

1. Correct factual errors. Be sure to cite articles or web references.
2. Point out alternative viewpoints.
3. Alter the organization if important points seem buried.
4. Use citations from PubMed (or other sources). Consider pulling an RSS feed of a PubMed search into the article. Learn how to use [RSS feeds] in Orthopaedia.
5. Add graphics.
6. If you feel that you have made a substantial contribution by your edits, please claim Author Credit

Upload your own pictures preferably. (for instance, the ABJS logo on the home page is uploaded and imbedded.

If you can't upload your your own graphics, link -but don't paste- from the web.

For instance, here is very nice x-ray of a femur fracture . As you see, this was added to the text as a link to test.orthophys.com/_IMAGES/pre_op.femur.jpg, and one has to click the link to see the picture. To be sure, one could certainly visit the site, save the jpg file to ones own computer and imbed the file in the text here. That would be easier, perhaps; it would certainly ensure that the picture stays available to orthopaedia even if the test.orthophys.com website goes down. But it would be taking what does not belong to us.

1. At the bottom of the article, list some suggestions of additional article topics that could be created to expand the coverage.
2. Create articles that are then linked from the article being edited.
