About Understand Ortho

We know that searching for orthopedic patient education can be tough – often, the sites are text-heavy, hard to navigate, are filled with distracting ads, and lack reputable sources. And who wants to read through pages of text to try and understand a complex medical procedure?

That’s why we decided to take a different approach. Our team of experts interviewed some of the best orthopedic surgeons and combined their insights with our award-winning animations and illustrations to create a videocentric experience that is informative and engaging.

Whether you’re researching a topic for yourself or for a loved one, we hope our site provides clarity during your patient journey. And while we do not provide medical advice, we would love to know if our site was helpful and/or if you have feedback for us. Please contact us at customerservice@understand.com.

UnderstandOrtho.com was created by Understand.com, a renowned global medical education company that has successfully educated over 10,000,000 patients across the globe. Our exceptional 3D medical animations serve as the foundation for an unparalleled patient learning experience, providing concise explanations of intricate mechanisms of action, disease pathologies, and surgical procedures.
