Musculoskeletal Diseases

Musculoskeletal Diseases

These diseases, which include hip fractures among the elderly, affect nearly one in seven Americans and cause them chronic pain and reduced mobility. As a recognized leader in treating musculoskeletal diseases, Mayo Clinic advanced osteoporosis from a disease of unknown origin to a well-understood, readily treatable condition. As our population ages, Mayo Clinic continues to increase research efforts in bone and joint diseases.
