Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equal welfare and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.

The Centre for Musculoskeletal Research (Rörelseorganens centrum) in Umeå is responsible for Orthopedics in the northern healthcare region, which covers the four northernmost counties. The Centre is divided into the sections of Arthroplastics and Tumors, FACTUM, Trauma, and Spine, all of which perform thousands of patient visits, treatments, and surgical procedures annually.

The Centre for Musculoskeletal Research in Umeå is a University Healthcare Unit (USVE), where research and student supervision are a natural part of clinical daily life.

Within the Centre for Musculoskeletal Research in Umeå, there are outpatient clinics, inpatient wards, a day surgery unit, an administrative unit, and an orthopedic technical center. Our care is characterized by a holistic approach where many different professional categories are engaged in the patient's care process and collaborate for the best results, with the vision of keeping Norrland (Northern Sweden) on its feet and in motion. The orthopedic outpatient clinic is a high-competence clinic with a good atmosphere and friendly colleagues.

The Tumor Section at the Orthopedic Outpatient Clinic focuses on specialized, multiprofessional care where patients with various types of sarcoma are investigated, treated, and followed up according to established guidelines. Sarcoma is a rare form of cancer that arises in the body's supportive tissues such as muscles, fat, connective tissue, or skeleton.

Work is carried out in close collaboration between several professional groups, with multidisciplinary conferences serving as the basis for treatment decisions. The activity covers the entire care chain – from diagnostics to surgery, oncological treatment, and follow-up.
