SAHMRI's research into Bones and Joints
Bones and Joints

Musculoskeletal conditions affecting the bones, joints and muscles can include arthritis, back pain, gout, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia.

Many of these conditions are the focus of research groups within SAHMRI’s Lifelong Health theme, while SAHMRI is also home to the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry which is dedicated to improving the quality of care for people who undergo joint replacement surgery.
