Nationally-recognized leaders in world class patient care,  impactful MSK education and extraordinary research.

The University of Chicago Medicine Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine is a recognized leader in orthopaedic medicine. Our program is one of the top in the nation, and growing every year.

Providing excellent clinical care is directly tied to research and to educating future ortho surgeons today. Basic, clinical, and translational research in orthopaedic science inspires us to create new knowledge and innovative approaches to treatments. Passing that knowledge to our residents and fellows will push the boundaries of orthopaedics to new levels. Learn more about the people and the programs of our department. 

Letter From the Chair

I am proud to lead an engaged group of people who make this department exceptional.  Our goals are clinical growth and expansion; building our research portfolio and asking questions that transform care; and providing exceptional education to our residents, fellows, and medical students. We are moving forward; we are adding faculty and advanced practice providers (APPs) as well as administrative staff, expanding clinical sites in Lagrange, Illinois and Crown Point, Indiana; and growing clinical offerings such as limb salvage, nerve reconstruction, and complex trauma.  This in addition to our work in Level 1 pediatric trauma, sports medicine, adult reconstruction, spine surgery, oncology, foot and ankle surgery, hand surgery, and shoulder and elbow surgery. 

We value each and every member of our department, because it is the people who are the foundation of UChicago Ortho.  As we grow, we want to celebrate the accomplishments of this group, while providing the highest level of patient care, education, and research.
