The mission of this open-access journal is the dissemination of knowledge to improve the care of patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Each issue includes richly illustrated peer-reviewed articles focused on clinical diagnosis and management, and research articles chosen for quality and timeliness. Special features in select issues provide commentary on developments in pharmacotherapeutics, materials and techniques, and the cutting edge of basic research.
