Wheeless

Wheeless is an online reference resource and encyclopedia focused on orthopedics and musculoskeletal medicine. It provides concise reviews of diseases, injuries, procedures, and imaging findings related to bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues. The resource is designed for medical students, residents, and practicing clinicians seeking quick clinical summaries and imaging references. Content on Wheeless is assembled from clinician-authored entries and case examples, and is continuously updated to reflect current practice, terminology, and techniques. Entries commonly include plain-language descriptions, lists of synonyms or differential diagnoses, bullet-point summaries of clinical features, radiographic findings, and references to standard imaging protocols. Many pages also incorporate radiographs, MRI, CT, and ultrasound images to illustrate key concepts.

Wheeless emphasizes practical, bedside-oriented information for common orthopedic problems such as fractures, degenerative joint disease, musculoskeletal infections, tumors, and soft-tissue injuries, as well as descriptions of operative procedures and post-operative considerations. Because the site aggregates contributions from clinicians, the depth and level of detail can vary between articles. Editorial oversight and citation practices may differ across topics, and readers are advised to corroborate critical information with primary literature or institutional guidelines.

The site is accessible online and has been widely used as a quick-reference tool in medical education and clinical practice. Users should treat it as a supplementary resource rather than a sole source for diagnosis or treatment decisions.
