Adult Reconstruction & Joint Replacement
The hip and knee joints endure a tremendous amount of wear and tear throughout a patient's life and can deteriorate over time, resulting in damage to the ligaments, tendons and cartilage. With recent advancements in orthopedic treatments, patients can easily regain joint functionality and return to normal activities.
The board certified orthopedic surgeons at Advocate Christ Medical Center's Bone and Joint Institute are fellowship trained to perform complex hip and knee joint reconstruction and replacement techniques using the latest technologies.
Conditions Treated

Available Treatments
Christ Medical Center is one of very few facilities in Chicago to specialize in revision surgeries for failed joint replacements, performing nearly 100 of these operations each year.

Despite our high volumes and diverse expertise, we report extremely low failure and revision rates compared to the university centers across Chicago.
