A musculoskeletal infection (MSI) is commonly found in the emergency room and can take many forms, depending on the factors involved including soft-tissue layers, bones and joints. Our Musculoskeletal Infection (MSI) Program, led by Medical Director Lawson Copley, M.D., combines the expertise of multiple pediatric specialists to provide diagnosis and treatment of the bone, tissue or joint damaging infections. The MSI team’s commitment to research offers patient and family centered care by efficiently and accurately diagnosing and treating your child.
