Welcome
Bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, nerves—these make up the infrastructure of our bodies—the musculoskeletal system. When these components are working properly and are healthy, we walk without pain and, generally, are able to do the things we want to do.
But when chronic pain, fractures, tears, sprains, strains and deterioration interrupt your life—the experts on the St. Francis Orthopaedics team are ready to help. St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers provides nationally recognized orthopaedic services at its Beech Grove and Mooresville campuses.
