Flexible from head to toe—our interplay of muscles, bones, and joints makes it possible. Disorders of the musculoskeletal system can be congenital, chronic, or acute, and may have various causes. Accidents, wear and tear, misalignments, and systemic underlying conditions—such as rheumatism—cause pain and limit mobility.
In the internationally recognized ICD-10 diagnostic classification, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue are grouped in Chapter XIII under codes M00 through M99. Learn more here about diseases of the muscles, bones, joints, and tendons.
A general orthopedic surgeon or pediatric orthopedic surgeon is available for the initial evaluation of symptoms. An acute injury, such as a torn ligament or meniscus tear, requires consultation with a trauma surgeon or sports traumatologist. If the pain is located in the back and a carefully planned surgical procedure is being considered, spine surgeons with specialized training in neurosurgery are the appropriate experts.
