Since musculoskeletal system works coordinately with other complicated systems such as brain and neurological system, the diseases and abnormalities of bones and joints need the most appropriate treatments. The accurate and timely diagnosis substantially leads to effective treatment outcomes while minimizing the risks of complications and long-term disability.
