Hip Replacement Surgery in Illinois: What to Know

Illinois offers excellent options for hip replacement surgery. Endeavor Health Orthopaedic & Spine Institute in Skokie performs the most orthopedic and spine surgeries statewide, while Rush University Medical Center in Chicago is nationally ranked for orthopedics. Advocate Health Care hospitals are also recognized as Blue Distinction Centers for hip replacement by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois for their exceptional care. Innovative "rapid recovery" and Mako robotic-assisted procedures are widely available, aiming for better outcomes.

Consider Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) like Ashton Center for Day Surgery in Hoffman Estates for significant savings on hip replacements, as they often offer robot-arm assisted surgery and allow same-day discharge. Patients can save an estimated 17-58% by choosing an ASC over a hospital. Verify current pricing directly with providers.
