Department Overview
With more than 200 bones, the human body's musculoskeletal system is an intricate system of joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves operating together to provide you with the mobility and strength you need to stand upright, walk or bend. Most of us never think about how these elements work together to enable us to perform even the simplest of tasks -- until one part of the musculoskeletal system becomes injured or irritated.
The Latest Treatments
Accidental and sports related injuries, bone disabilities, and other musculoskeletal disorders can impact your body, slowing down mobility and causing pain and/or discomfort. To treat these conditions, you'll need a team of physicians and nurses that is not only experienced in the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques but also concentrates on each patient's individual concerns and needs. You'll need the team at Penn Orthopaedics.
