Mayo Clinic's approach

Collaboration

At Mayo Clinic, specialists in radiology, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, endocrinology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation work together as a multidisciplinary team to evaluate and treat compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. This means that you're not getting just one opinion — you benefit from the knowledge and experience of each specialist.
