Midwest Institute for Orthopedics
at Silver Cross Hospital
At every stage of life, our bones and joints—and the muscles, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments that help move them—are vulnerable to injury and disease.
With so many moving parts, it’s not surprising that over the course of a lifetime, one or more elements of the intricate musculoskeletal system that supports our bodies and allows us to move freely can become damaged.
In fact, musculoskeletal diseases affect one out of every two Americans over the age 18 nearly three out of four over the age of 65. Arthritis, trauma and back pain are the most common...and among the most painful. As our population continues to age, these diseases are becoming a greater burden every year.
