Hip and Knee Joint Replacement
Swedes is the only hospital in northern Illinois to receive The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™ for its Joint Replacement Program for healthcare quality and safety.
Our physicians perform hundreds of hip and knee joint replacement procedures every year, and our physical therapists provide assistance during the rehabilitation process.
Hand Surgery
Swedes treats a wide range of hand injuries and disease, including carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger fingers, tenosynovitis, ganglion cysts and Dupuytren’s disease. Some of our physicians also provide surgical tendon reconstruction following traumatic laceration to the wrist or fingers.
Sports Medicine
Everyone from the school athlete to the weekend warrior is susceptible to a sports injury, like tennis elbow, wrist tendonitis, shin splints or golfer’s elbow. Athletes are also vulnerable to acute, traumatic injuries such as fractures, strains, sprains and abrasions.
While some athletes may be tempted to ignore the pain, if left untreated, an injury will probably get worse over time. Our sports medicine physicians use a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques to put athletes back on the playing field.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Minimally-invasive techniques like arthroscopy allows our orthopedic surgeons to see inside your joint without having to make a large incision. We can even repair some types of joint damage with surgical instruments inserted through additional small incisions.
Pediatric Surgery
Our physicians are specially trained in providing fracture care for pediatric injuries to arms and legs, as well as shoulder, elbow, wrist and ankle sprains. In addition, our sports medicine physicians are trained in pediatric knee and shoulder injuries.
