The management of these conditions involves both nonsurgical and surgical approaches, depending on the severity and complexity of the injury or disorder.Orthopedic surgeons and specialists use various diagnostic tools such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, and physical examinations to accurately diagnose musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.Treatment approaches can vary based on the specific condition and its severity.
