What OrthoIllinois does

OrthoIllinois is a private, multi-specialty orthopedic practice founded in 1967 in Rockford, Illinois, and operating as a division of OrthoMidwest, PLLC. The practice delivers comprehensive musculoskeletal care including surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging (MRI), rehabilitation therapy, rheumatology infusion, occupational health, and walk-in urgent injury care through its Injury Express service. It serves general orthopedic patients, athletes, trauma cases, and regional employers across northern Illinois via 15+ owned clinic, surgery center, MRI, and physical therapy locations (Rockford, Algonquin, Elgin, McHenry, Crystal Lake, Belvidere, Huntley, Machesney, Rockton, Woodstock, Beloit) and co-management agreements with OSF HealthCare hospitals extending into Ottawa, Princeton, Streator, Peru, Bloomington, Pontiac, and Little Company of Mary/Evergreen Park.

The practice operates technologically advanced facilities, including a 49,000-square-foot Elgin clinic opened in September 2022 and a Human Anatomy Lab Center that hosts fully operational arthroscopic towers with two-way interactive video conferencing for surgical training and product development. Clinical technology includes MAKO robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement (with Dr. Paul Perona training external surgeons on the platform), a No-Incision Thread Carpal Tunnel Release technique performed in-office under ultrasound guidance, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and other orthobiologic treatments, and specialized neurological physical therapy. Research and continuing medical education are supported through the Midwest Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education (MFORE), established in 2009.

OrthoIllinois runs a fee-for-service professional services model, with revenue from clinical visits, surgical procedures, imaging, rehabilitation, and workers' compensation billed through a broad set of participating insurance plans, supplemented by bundled pricing and employer occupational health contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on physician referrals, direct patient scheduling via website and phone, walk-in urgent care, telehealth/virtual visits, hospital co-management arrangements, and employer relationships. The practice is privately held, has not raised external venture capital, and operates under physician-partner ownership within the OrthoMidwest umbrella.
