Hinsdale Orthopaedics

Steven S. Louis, M.D.

Orthopaedic Trauma

Partner & Staff Physician, Hinsdale Orthopaedics

Dr. Louis is a board certified orthopaedic surgeon and is fellowship trained in the area of trauma. His post-residency training allows him to treat patients with traumatic injury, particularly those with pelvic injuries, complex fractures, non-unions and infections. Additionally, Dr. Louis' practice focuses on hip and knee replacements. Dr. Louis is one of the few surgeons in the Chicago area who performs total hip replacement using the Direct Anterior Approach. Expanding on the pelvic trauma reconstructive work that he does, this manner in which the hip is replaced has been a natural and comfortable transition. For knee replacements, Dr. Louis uses a customized system made specifically for each patient's anatomy.

Dr. Louis is the Director of Orthopaedic Trauma at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, IL, a level-one trauma center. He also serves as the Chairman of the Operating Room Committee and Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery. He is an instructor for the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (ASIF) and a clinical instructor at Loyola Medical Center. Dr. Louis dedicates considerable time to lecturing and to hands-on training of other physicians, medical students, nurses and allied health professionals.

An integral part of the Hinsdale Orthopaedics team since 1997, Dr. Louis has exceptional surgical skills that are complimented by a personable style and dedication to the highest quality of patient outcomes and satisfaction.
