ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY RESEARCH
Dr. Garrigues routinely publishes articles in national publications and speaks at local, national and international conferences on cutting-edge topics related to shoulder and elbow surgery. His research has spanned the spectrum from shoulder to elbow, from rotator cuff to arthritis, and from the fundamental sciences to population health. Dr. Garrigues has won multiple awards for his research including a prestigious Orthopaedic Research and Education grant in 2018 for a multicenter, randomized trial evaluating the best way to utilize physical therapy after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
Additionally, Dr. Garrigues has been involved in the design of multiple successful, FDA-approved shoulder replacement systems and holds multiple patents. He is a co-team physician for the Chicago White Sox (MLB), the Chicago Bulls (NBA) and DePaul University in Chicago.Dr. Chahla is internationally recognized for his contributions to the field of orthopedic sports medicine through minimally invasive techniques, and as a pioneer in novel biologic treatments. Dr. Chahla’s approach is based on a philosophy that each individual procedure is specific and customized to the individual needs of each patient. He uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques so that recovery time is minimized. Dr. Chahla’s focus is not only a patient’s full recovery, but the speed of that recovery to return to sport. To accomplish this, his team coordinates comprehensive postoperative care, which includes objective assessments of motion and subsequent interaction with physical therapists, coaches, and athletic trainers to ensure return to preinjury performance.
