Dr. Richard Berger is a world-renowned surgeon and a pioneer of minimally invasive joint replacement surgery. Read more: http://www.outpatienthipandknee.com/

His advanced technique allows patients to heal faster and with less pain. Hip and Knee replacements with Dr. Richard Berger are anything but typical. In a traditional hip or knee replacement surgery, a surgeon makes a 12-inch incision cutting muscles, tendons and ligaments. A patient spends three or four days in the hospital, then must wait a month before they can drive, and three months before th

ey can go back to work. Dr. Berger performs surgeries on an outpatient basis. Using only a 3-5 inch incision, the tools designed by Dr. Berger move back your muscles, tendons, and ligaments without cutting them; reducing your recovery time by over 50%. A few hours after your new joint is in place, you will be full weight bearing; allowing you to walk, climb stairs, and leave the hospital to recover in the comfort of your home. Patients begin easing back into physical activities after only 3 weeks, and are about 90% recovered by 6 weeks. Contact us if you are ready to get back to living a healthy, pain-free life!

Renowned artist Margot McMahon spent years hiking and biking to keep herself in good shape for her physically challenging job as a sculptor.

Her hip gave out during a hike just months before she was sculpting and organizing the Ragdale Tree Project in Lake Forest, IL.

She went to Dr. Berger for her Total Hip Replacement because she needed a quick and effective recovery.

Three months later, she was climbing while using a chainsaw & sander with no pain to create the “Diversity of Birds” tree sculpture on display in Lake Forest!

Our Story

In a typical hip or knee replacement surgery, a surgeon makes a 12-inch incision cutting muscle, tendon and bone. A patient spends three or four days in the hospital, then it’s a month before they can drive and three months before they can go back to work. But hip and knee replacements with Dr. Richard Berger, orthopaedic surgeon at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush and assistant professor of orthopaedics at Rush University Medical Center, are anything but typical. A pioneer of minimally invasive joint replacement surgery, Dr. Berger performs surgeries on an outpatient basis. A few hours after they emerge from the operating room, his patients typically walk 200 feet around the nurse’s station, climb up and down a flight of 15 stairs, and then go home the same day. Normally, surgeons cut muscles and tendons, and the joint is dislocated. There are a lot of functional restrictions, and the patients have a great deal of pain. Then, because they’re afraid of the pain, they’re apprehensive about moving their leg in physical therapy. Read more: https://outpatienthipandknee.com/home/
