The framework of the human body is comprised of hundreds of joints and muscles. When even one of these intricate connections is injured, whether by trauma or degenerative disease, your whole body can feel the effects. At Indiana University Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we know you want relief, and we’re committed to helping reduce your pain. From your first appointment through treatment, rehabilitation and follow-up, we provide high-quality, compassionate care while we help return you to your previous level of activity quickly and safely—so you can get back to doing what really matters.
Our highly skilled physicians treat the entire musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles and the spine. Our patients come from all demographics—from young or professional athletes to those with tumors, trauma or musculoskeletal disorders. Whenever possible, we exhaust non-operative treatment before recommending surgery, but when it becomes necessary, our surgeons provide advanced joint replacements, reconstruction, and minimally invasive spine surgeries.
As the only nationally ranked orthopedic program in Indiana, according to U.S. News & World Report, we’ve partnered with the Indiana University School of Medicine to combine the most innovative treatments with the latest technology, ensuring our patients receive individualized and comprehensive care.
IU Health Orthopedics provides nationally recognized expertise in joint replacement and revision surgery for knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, hands, ankles and feet.
Our dedicated joint replacement specialists use cutting-edge therapies and treatment options to speed patient recovery times and reduce pain. We perform a high volume of surgical joint replacement procedures each year. This extensive experience enables specialists at IU Health Orthopedics to excel at effectively treating arthritis and joint pain—from the most common cases to the most complex procedures. Have a question? Ask an IU Health expert.
Procedures can be performed on the hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow and finger. And if revision surgery is ever needed, we can repair and replace the worn-out implant. Our physicians have performed thousands of these procedures, always with the goal of returning you to freedom of mobility.
