Merrillville Injury Care provides expert diagnosis and treatment of joint and extremity injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, and other traumatic events. Our orthopedic team evaluates and treats injuries to the shoulder, knee, hip, ankle, elbow, wrist, hand, and foot at our Merrillville, Indiana facility.
Joint Injuries from Accidents and Workplace Trauma
Traumatic joint injuries occur when the forces generated by an accident — whether a car collision, workplace fall, or direct impact — exceed the structural limits of the joint’s ligaments, cartilage, bones, or tendons. These injuries range from sprains and strains that respond to conservative treatment to complex tears, fractures, and dislocations that require surgical repair.
Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation
Our orthopedic evaluation includes detailed physical examination, stability and range of motion testing, on-site digital X-ray, and coordination of advanced imaging (MRI, CT) when needed. Accurate diagnosis of the specific structures involved — ligaments, cartilage, tendons, bone — is essential for effective treatment and for documenting injuries for insurance or legal claims.
Treatment: Conservative Through Surgical
Treatment is staged by severity. Conservative options include physical therapy, bracing, corticosteroid injections, and PRP therapy. When surgical intervention is needed, Dr. Bernard Rerri, MD performs minimally invasive arthroscopic and open procedures at our onsite Merrillville Plaza Surgery Center, with post-surgical rehabilitation coordinated on-site.
