The patient\'s musculoskeletal system is composed of the muscular and skeletal systems. The skeletal system includes the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage that support and connect the bones. The musculoskeletal system provides the framework for the body, enables motion, and provides protection for internal organs. The musculoskeletal system is maintained at or improved from baseline status as monitored throughout the perioperative period.
