Orthopedic Surgical Care

Orthopedic surgical care at Hendricks Regional Health is led by the team of fellowship-trained physicians at Hendricks Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. The surgeons, Kyle Ritter, M.D., Chad Waits, M.D., and Brad Prather, M.D., are trained in orthopedic surgery and devoted to the diagnosis, management, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

We specialize in total joint replacements, revisions and joint preservation as well as arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, knee, ankle, hip and elbow. Other specialties include tendon and ligament reconstruction and fracture care.

Those needing hip replacement surgery may benefit from our direct anterior approach to this procedure. This muscle-sparing alternative has a shorter recovery time than traditional hip replacement and requires no dislocation precautions for the patient following surgery.

Why Choose Us for Your Surgery  

Our orthopedic surgeons are supported by a Magnet ® accredited nursing team and the latest technology. New operating suites at our Danville campus utilize high-definition monitors for viewing radiology tests and live laparoscopic procedures. The OR lighting was designed to provide a range of illumination, including spotlights and green lighting to give visual flexibility throughout the rooms. Green lights can be switched on in place of white lighting for better viewing during laparoscopic procedures, allowing the surgeon’s eye to better distinguish small details.

Patients who have procedures at our Hibbeln Surgery Center in Avon benefit from features designed for privacy and convenience, including a chronic pain management area and special pediatric areas.

Our patients feel comfortable knowing that while they are in surgery, their family members are kept well informed. The surgery waiting room at our Danville campus features an electronic message board that provides ongoing updates. The status of each patient is updated by nursing staff, and refreshes every minute to provide the most recent information possible.

Visitors can also take advantage of our delicious, made-to-order fare at The Copper Grill . And while they are away to grab a bite to eat or a coffee refill, they can still check in on their loved one’s status. They just need to stop in at any of the seven ambassador desks located throughout the hospital.
