Who is responsible

This is the professional website of Dr. Vishnu Baburaj, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Aster MIMS Hospital, Kannur: MS Orthopedics (PGI Chandigarh), MRCS (UK), DNB (Ortho), MNAMS, registration TCMC 62445 (verifiable on the Indian Medical Register). He is the medical reviewer of record for every clinical page on this site.

How content is written and reviewed

Content is prepared with professional writing and editorial assistance. Every clinical statement is authored or verified by Dr. Vishnu Baburaj before publication. Pages that carry a "medically reviewed" line show the date he last reviewed them; those dates reflect actual review, not automatic updates.

Dr. Vishnu is himself a published researcher (30+ peer-reviewed publications, 450+ citations) and serves as a peer reviewer for international journals including the Indian Journal of Orthopaedics, BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, and BMC Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The same standard of evidence he applies as a reviewer applies to this site.

Sourcing rules

Every statistic in an article is attributed to a named source, with peer-reviewed literature preferred.
Where Dr. Vishnu's own published research is relevant, the page links to it directly so you can read the underlying work.
Evidence is described honestly, including where it is mixed or evolving. Where a treatment's evidence is weak, the page says so.
Patient reviews are never invented or edited. Testimonials, when shown, are verbatim from the public Google listing.

Advertising standards

As a registered medical practitioner in India, Dr. Vishnu follows the National Medical Commission's ethics standards for professional communication: no promises about outcomes, no comparative or superlative claims about skill, and no solicitation dressed up as advice. Where honest copy and persuasive copy diverge, this site ships the honest version.

Updates and corrections

Clinical pages are re-reviewed at least annually, and sooner when practice or evidence changes. If you believe something on this site is wrong or out of date, write to [email protected]. Genuine errors are corrected on the page, and the review date is updated. See also the medical disclaimer and privacy policy.
