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

The Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders (ROC) Umeå is responsible for university hospital care in orthopedics, including spine surgery, in the Northern Healthcare Region, comprising the four northernmost counties. ROC also serves as the county hospital for orthopedics in Västerbotten and the district hospital for the Umeå region.

The Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders is divided into the sections Arthro, Faktum, Trauma, and Spine, all of which perform thousands of patient visits, treatments, and operative procedures annually. Together with the Surgery and Orthopedics Clinic in Lycksele and the Unit for Operative Activities in Skellefteå, we are responsible for all orthopedic care in the county.

The Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders is a University Healthcare Unit (USVE), where research and student supervision are a natural part of daily clinical practice.

Our diverse operations are seen as stimulating by our employees, as the work is divided into different sections. This provides a varied work environment and a strong medical knowledge base. We offer a practice with both breadth and depth, ranging from assessments of patients' acute orthopedic problems in emergency care at the clinic and ward, to elective orthopedic surgeries and extensive fracture and trauma surgery.
