Illinois Bone & Joint Institute Welcomes Dr. Kevin Chen

Physician specializing in hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder care joins local orthopaedic specialty practice

Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) is pleased to welcome Dr. Kevin Chen. Dr. Chen specializes in hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder surgery. He completed his fellowship training at a busy trauma center in Milwaukee and is looking forward to working with patients here in the Chicago area.

Dr. Chen treats arthritic and chronic conditions as well as rotator cuff tears, shoulder and elbow instability, tennis and golfers elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and repetitive motion sports injuries. He is among the few surgeons trained in complex elbow replacement surgery, a technique that is now achieving excellent results for many patients.

Dr. Chen believes surgery is a last resort. He performs minimally invasive arthroscopy to treat many problems and works closely with therapists, pain management specialists and others to restore patients to their best function, non-surgically.
