Exceptional Joint Replacement Care to Help You Move Freely
Our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth La Grange campus is home to our Center for Advanced Joint Replacement (CAJR). Here, our expert orthopedic surgeons perform total joint replacements, with some using minimally invasive, robotic-assisted techniques to help you recover faster with less scarring and fewer risks. We specialize in hip, knee and shoulder replacements, so you can get back to doing what you love with strength, mobility and confidence.
Our operating rooms, pre-operative and recovery units were all constructed to provide the safest and highest-quality experience for our patients. Everything you need for successful joint replacement is in one place, including our physical therapy gym, so you can focus on healing.

It’s our goal to help patients return to their active lifestyles as quickly as possible. We perform over 3,500 successful joint replacements per year, so rest assured you're in the best hands.
- Recognized Surgical Care
-
Our outpatient surgery at La Grange was recently named one of only five hospitals nationwide with the lowest rate of unplanned hospital visits after outpatient surgery, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This means fewer of our patients had to return to the hospital within seven days of their procedure. This recognition reflects our commitment to helping patients heal safely at home after surgery through:
- Clear communication
- Personalized post-surgery planning and ongoing care
- Pre- and post-surgery education to support healing
