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 Orthopedics team are ready to help. Franciscan St. Francis Health provides nationally recognized orthopedic services at its Indianapolis and Mooresville campuses.
