The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate advanced practice physiotherapy and orthopedic surgeon care and clinical outcomes for new patients with a peripheral musculoskeletal disorders consulting at the orthopedic outpatient clinic of the HĂ´pital Jean-Talon. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To describe the models of care at the HĂ´pital Jean-Talon orthopedic outpatient clinic; 2. To assess change in pain, disability, quality of life and pain catastrophizing at 6, 12 and 26 weeks after the initial evaluation; 3. To assess interprofessional collaboration between the advanced practice physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons; 4. To assess patient satisfaction with care; 5. To assess waiting time before an initial consultation. Researchers will compare patients cared in the advanced practice physiotherapy and orthopedic surgeon group and the orthopedic surgeon only group.
