The hospital

This site is published by Chongqing West District Hospital, a tertiary general hospital at 301 Huafu Avenue North Section, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. Every reference to the hospital on this site means that institution, and the treating team practises within it.

Advertising and claims

This site describes operations and their recovery in plain language, does not name a product or a device brand, does not quote prices, and does not quote doses. It does not claim that returning to activity is free of consequence, that a result that has been displaced can always be corrected, or that a further operation restores what was there before. It states the limits and the alternatives, and it names the physician responsible for the medical content.

Honesty requirements for this subject

Because a return to training too soon can cost bleeding, a collection, a wound that opens or a displaced result, this site states plainly that the limit is set by the operation, that a corrective operation is a last step rather than a reset, and that prolonged stillness carries risks of its own. It does not present a further operation as a remedy for a problem that a graded return would have avoided.
