Fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with OrthoIllinois in Rockford, Algonquin and Elgin, listing orthobiologics among his shoulder and knee services.
This is the personal practice website of Jon Whitehurst, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon working with OrthoIllinois, a large independent orthopaedic group in northern Illinois. He treats patients directly across three offices in Rockford, Algonquin and Elgin.
He trained at the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago, completed an orthopaedic residency, and then a fellowship in arthroscopic surgery and sports medicine at the Southern California Orthopaedic Institute. The site notes prior military service. He acts as a team physician for professional and amateur athletes.
His clinical work centres on the shoulder and knee: rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilisation and labral repair, frozen shoulder, knee arthroscopy, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and cartilage restoration. Orthobiologics is listed among his services, but the site does not say which biological products are used, where any cells or tissue are obtained, or for which specific conditions they are offered. Anyone attending for a biological injection rather than surgery should ask the surgeon directly what would be injected and what evidence supports it.
Orthobiologics is named as a service but no product or tissue source is described.
Three OrthoIllinois offices are listed: 324 Roxbury Road, Rockford, Illinois 61107; 650 South Randall Road, Algonquin, Illinois 60102; and 1550 North Randall Road, Elgin, Illinois 60123. Opening hours, the year the practice was established, languages spoken and any international patient service are not stated on the website.
No prices or consultation fees are published. Surgical and clinic care through an orthopaedic group is normally billed to insurance; orthobiologic injections are often not covered, so ask about cost in advance.
