Knee in Merrillville, Indiana
Knee injuries are among the most common and functionally disabling injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents and workplace incidents. Merrillville Injury Care provides expert knee injury diagnosis, treatment, and arthroscopic surgery for patients in Northwest Indiana.
Common Knee Injuries from Accidents
Knee injuries treated at our facility include ACL tears, MCL and LCL sprains, meniscus tears, patellar fractures, tibial plateau fractures, patellar tendon injuries, and post-traumatic knee arthritis. In car accidents, knee injuries commonly result from dashboard impact, twisting forces during the collision, or bracing the foot against the pedal at the moment of impact.
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
When conservative treatment is insufficient, Dr. Rerri performs arthroscopic knee surgery at our onsite Merrillville Plaza Surgery Center. Procedures include meniscus repair and partial meniscectomy, ACL reconstruction, cartilage restoration, loose body removal, and synovectomy. Arthroscopic surgery offers smaller incisions, faster recovery, and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
