Same-Day MVA Appointments Available — No Insurance Required | Lien-Based TreatmentElbow in Merrillville, Indiana
Elbow injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, and falls can significantly impact upper extremity function. Merrillville Injury Care provides expert elbow injury diagnosis and treatment for patients throughout Northwest Indiana.
Common Elbow Injuries
Elbow injuries we treat include lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow), olecranon fractures, radial head fractures, elbow dislocations, cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve compression), and post-traumatic elbow stiffness. These injuries result from direct trauma, falls onto an outstretched hand (FOOSH injuries), and repetitive workplace stress.
Treatment Options
Conservative management includes physical therapy, bracing, corticosteroid injections, and activity modification. Surgical options at our onsite surgery center include arthroscopic elbow surgery, fracture fixation, cubital tunnel decompression, and lateral epicondyle debridement. EMG/nerve conduction studies are performed when ulnar nerve involvement is suspected.
