John Hur

Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr. John Hur’s greatest joy and reward is seeing his patients return to the happy, active lifestyle they deserve. He understands that it takes more than surgical expertise to improve a person’s quality of life – which is why he takes his time to address questions and concerns before and after every surgery. He not only looks at your affected joints, but also takes into consideration your overall health. He tries to improve your health conditions carefully and thoughtfully to maximize your outcomes and minimize your risks which can be done non-operatively, whenever possible, or through surgery.

In practice since 2006, Dr. Hur has performed over 7,000 total hip and knee replacements to date. He was one of the first surgeons in Indiana to perform Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) total hip replacements. He has done over 3,000 DAA hip replacements so far.

Dr. Hur’s direct anterior total hip replacement has huge benefits over other techniques such as:

  • Minimally invasive with a small incision and no muscle cutting
  • Speeds and improves recovery (back to work sooner)
  • Less pain thereby reducing the need for awful pain medications
  • Precise implantation of the components giving patients equal leg lengths
  • Significantly reduced risk of dislocations

Dr. Hur also uses MAKO robotic technology, as well as computer navigation, in his total knee replacements enabling him to give his patients the latest, and most precisely aligned and balanced knees that can be offered today.

He constantly seeks to incorporate and offer the most cutting-edge technology into all areas of his practice. He absolutely loves taking care of his Hoosiers and people all over the Midwest!

When he is not at work, Dr. Hur enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife, whom he met on their first day of medical school, golfing, skiing and traveling with their two daughters and son.

Dr. Hur and the entire Forte staff are outstanding. On time, clean, efficient and extremely professional.
Karen Roller
Forte offers a warm and streamlined point of service. Dr. Hur and his staff were wonderful. He thoroughly explained my options, and made realistic recommendations. I felt he heard me, and cared for my well-being.
Richard Keck
After 2 TKR (within the last 6 months) and a right hip (2012) I can say without a doubt, your greatest opportunity for a successful replacement starts by selecting Doctor John Hur and his staff to be your doctor. I will point out he has an excellent recovery program that you will want to follow to a T, with no excuses for top notch recovery. I just had both knees replaced over the 6 months, and feel 10 years younger. Don't wait..call his staff and set your date!
Betty Stremming
I have had both hips replaced with Dr Hur as my surgeon. This is the surgeon and the place that you want to have your hip surgery. I am from another state but my decision to come here has been validated by the exceptional surgery outcomes for both hips. Per the words of Dr Hur, "I am now 10 years younger with my new hips." I am looking forward to getting back to riding my bike and the many more activities that have been on hold due to bad hips. Make sure you do your research before surgury, but I am sure you will be in agreement that this is "the place".
