Expert Care for Hip and Pelvic Injuries in Chicago and the Midwest

When hip or pelvic fractures occur, expert evaluation and treatment are essential to restore mobility, reduce pain, and prevent long-term complications.  Dr. Joel Williams provides advanced care for patients recovering from traumatic injuries or complications related to prior surgeries.  As a nationally recognized hip and pelvic reconstruction specialist, Dr. Williams offers precise, personalized treatment plans for patients across Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, St. Louis, and beyond.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

Fractures involving the acetabulum (hip socket) or pelvic ring can be complex and may lead to stiffness, arthritis, chronic pain or instability if not properly addressed. Dr. Williams uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to evaluate each injury, ensuring an accurate assessment of bone alignment, joint integrity, and surrounding soft tissue.

Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, treatment may include:

  • Fracture fixation to stabilize broken bones and promote healing

  • Reconstruction or realignment to restore proper joint function

  • Hip replacement or revision surgery for patients with post-traumatic arthritis or hardware failure

  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation to regain strength, balance, and range of motion

Dr. Williams specializes in both acute trauma management and post-traumatic reconstruction, helping patients return to pain-free movement and long-term stability.

Treating Post-Traumatic Complications

Some patients experience complications after previous hip or pelvic surgery, such as malunion, nonunion, or residual deformity.  Dr. Williams provides advanced solutions for these challenges, including corrective osteotomies, joint preservation procedures, and hip replacements when needed.  His meticulous approach ensures optimal alignment, function, and comfort for every patient.

Take the next step

Recovery from traumatic injuries requires expert guidance and individualized care.  Dr. Williams and his team work closely with each patient to ensure a smooth recovery, combining surgical precision with compassionate follow-up support.  Patients across the Midwest trust Dr. Joel Williams for their expertise in managing even the most complex post-traumatic hip and pelvic problems.
