Kenneth S. Chakour, MD, FAAOS, FAAHKS

A board-certified orthopedic surgeon, FAAOS and FAAHKS, and St. Charles North High School graduate, Dr. Kenneth Chakour specializes in outpatient, minimally invasive primary joint replacements, direct anterior hip replacements, and complex revision surgeries.

A leading expert in treating hip and knee osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and hip dysplasia, he utilizes advanced robotic-assisted technology to customize each procedure to the patient’s exact anatomy for greater precision and faster recovery, including a muscle sparing subvastus approach for knee replacements. A pioneer in surgical innovation, Dr. Chakour performed the world’s first ASC hip replacement utilizing AI-integrated VELYS™ Hip Navigation technology. He frequently speaks at national events on robotics and actively educates fellow surgeons on implementing advanced technologies in joint replacement procedures.

Dr. Chakour emphasizes a conservative, multidisciplinary approach first, incorporating physical therapy, bracing, and injections, and reserving surgical intervention as a last option. Following surgery, he collaborates closely with physical therapists to ensure continuity of care and a smooth return to an active lifestyle. Outside the clinic, Dr. Chakour enjoys family life with his wife and two kids, as well as spending quality time with his German Shepherd, Otto.
