Knee Specialist
The knee is the largest joint in the body. It’s also the most easily injured. It is made up of the thighbone (femur) which rotates on the shinbone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella), which slides in a groove on the femur.
HIP Specialist
Hip joint pain may be caused by many different factors – arthritis, injury, bone deformities, inflammation, aging, and more. When the pain becomes unbearable and limits your ability to walk and move, it is time to see an orthopedic doctor.
“Dr. Ludkowski performed the total knee replacement surgery on both my knees at Northwest Community Hospital. The first one was in 2014, and the second one was April of [2017]. Both surgeries were so successful! Now I don’t take pain medication and I’m walking normally. I don’t know how to describe how lucky I am to have Dr. Ludkowski as my surgeon! Thank you!”
