Biography

Board certified in orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine, Dr. Chudik is a pioneer in arthroscopic shoulder and knee surgery for "athletes" of all abilities - from budding athlete and professional to weekend warrior and weekday worker. Dr. Chudik prides himself on providing individualized care and developing a treatment plan that is right for each patient's lifestyle and functional goals. Practicing at Hinsdale Orthopaedics since 2002, Dr. Chudik specializes in arthroscopic repair and revisions for shoulder rotator cuff, labral and cartilage tears and knee ACL, ligament, meniscus, and cartilage injuries. Dr. Chudik developed several advanced arthroscopic techniques, instruments, and implants to improve patient outcomes, including rebuilding a broken glenoid (shoulder socket), resurfacing (replacing) a shoulder joint, revising previously failed ACL surgeries, and reconstructing ACL tears without injuring the growth plate. A graduate of the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Dr. Chudik continues his academic pursuits as a clinical assistant professor for Loyola University of Chicago where he collaborates with other faculty and teaches orthopaedic residents and medical students. Dr. Chudik has established an orthopaedic research and education foundation that funds research, conferences, and seminars for other healthcare professionals and community members, a newsletter, and an athletic training residency program, all to promote safe, active, and healthy lifestyles for people in his community. Dr. Chudik is an active researcher, collaborating with scientists at Argonne National Laboratory and Hines VA Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Laboratory to help develop new and improved orthopaedic treatments for his patients. He is an author of numerous papers and patents and continues to strive to develop new, innovative, and minimally invasive shoulder and knee surgical procedures. He is a reviewer for two prestigious orthopaedic journals; The American Journal of Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy and Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery. Dr. Chudik is a member of the Council of Delegates, as well as a committee member for the American Orthopaedic Society of Sports Medicine. He serves as a faculty instructor for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the American Shoulder and Elbow Society, and the Arthroscopy Association of North America, where he lectures and demonstrates new and advanced surgical techniques to other orthopaedic surgeons from around the world. He also serves as team physician for the USA Swimming Sports Medicine and Science Network High Performance Team.
