Dr. Ilyas is a board certified Orthopaedic Surgeon with a certificate of added qualification in Hand Surgery. He specializes in hand, wrist, elbow and orthopaedic trauma surgery. Dr. Ilyas has a particular interest in fracture surgery, nerve injury, opioids and pain management in orthopaedic surgery, and is considered an expert in "wide awake hand surgery." Dr. Ilyas also served as the Consulting Hand Surgeon to both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dr. Ilyas is an Alpha Omega Alpha graduate of MCP-Hahnemann College of Medicine of Drexel University. After medical school he completed his Orthopaedic Surgery training at Temple University Hospital. He subsequently completed his fellowship as a Harvard Fellow at the prestigious Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston prior to returning to the Philadelphia area.
Dr. Ilyas has an extensive research portfolio. He has published over 150 scientific studies and papers, authored several textbook chapters, and serves as an editor and reviewer for multiple journals and textbooks. His research most recently has focused on opioids and pain management strategies to decrease post-operative opioid use and dependency. His work has culminated in launching of the new Rothman Orthopaedic Institute's Foundation for Opioid Research and Education.
In addition to his busy clinical practice and research, Dr. Ilyas is a dedicated educator. He maintains a full academic schedule which includes serving as a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College and also serving as the Program Director of the Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery Fellowship. Dr. Ilyas also lectures extensively both nationally and internationally.
Beyond his clinical practice and academic responsibilities, Dr. Ilyas is actively involved in several professional societies, including serving as the President of the Pennsylvania Orthopaedic Society. In addition, Dr. Ilyas is involved in the design and development of various fracture and joint replacement implants for the upper extremity, and other technologies used by hand surgeons.
Dr. Ilyas is annually recognized as a “Top Doc” in Philadelphia and Main Line Today magazines. Most recently, he was privileged to be the top ranked Orthopaedic Hand Surgeon among his peers in Main Line Today.
