Medical Disclaimer
Effective Date: August 1, 2026 · Last Updated: August 2026
This disclaimer applies to corycalendinemd.com and to all content published by Cory Calendine, MD, including web pages, blog posts, downloadable guides, videos, and social media accounts. Please read it carefully before relying on any information found here.
Educational Purpose Only
All content on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It describes hip and knee conditions, surgical and nonsurgical treatment options, and recovery expectations in general terms. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a prescription, and it is not a substitute for an in-person evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional.
Only a physician who has examined you, reviewed your imaging, and taken a full history can advise you about your specific condition. Never disregard professional medical advice, and never delay seeking it, because of something you read on this website.
No Physician-Patient Relationship
Viewing this website, reading a blog post, downloading a guide, watching a video, submitting a contact form, or interacting with Dr. Calendine on social media does not create a physician-patient relationship. That relationship is established only through a scheduled clinical evaluation at the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee.
Medical Emergencies
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use this website, the contact form, email, or any social media channel to report an urgent or emergency concern. These channels are not monitored around the clock.
Current patients with an urgent post-operative concern should call (615) 791-2630 and follow the prompts for after-hours guidance.
Individual Results Vary
Outcomes described on this website reflect general experience across many patients and are not a promise or guarantee of any particular result. Surgical and nonsurgical treatments carry risks as well as benefits, and both vary with age, weight, activity level, bone quality, prior surgery, and other medical conditions. Recovery timelines are estimates. Your results may differ.
Accuracy and Currency of Content
Content is prepared with care and reflects accepted orthopaedic practice at the time of publication. Medicine changes. Techniques, implants, and evidence evolve, and older articles may not reflect current practice. No representation is made that any page is complete, current, or free of error. Publication dates are shown on blog posts so you can judge how recent the information is.
Patient Comments, Reviews, and Testimonials
Patient reviews and comments that appear on this website or on associated social media accounts describe the individual experience of the person who wrote them. They are not clinical evidence, they are not verified outcome data, and they should not be read as predictive of the result any other patient will have.
Third-Party Content and Links
This website links to third-party organizations such as the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, and may link to journals, hospitals, and other resources. Those sites are not controlled by Dr. Calendine, and no responsibility is accepted for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.
Industry Relationships
Dr. Calendine is a paid consultant to Stryker® for the Mako® robotic-arm platform. This relationship is disclosed wherever those products are discussed on this website and on associated social media accounts. Product mentions are educational and reflect the equipment used in his practice. They are not paid advertising for any specific product, and they do not imply that any manufacturer sponsors or endorses this website.
Mako®, MAKOplasty®, SmartRobotics™, Triathlon®, Accolade®, Trident®, and Stryker® are trademarks of Stryker Corporation. OrthoGrid® and OrthoGrid Hip AI® are trademarks of Zimmer Biomet. All other trademarks referenced on this site are the property of their respective owners.
