Same-Day MVA Appointments Available — No Insurance Required | Lien-Based TreatmentWorkplace Knee Injuries in Merrillville, Indiana
Knee injuries are among the most common and functionally limiting workplace injuries, frequently requiring prolonged treatment and significant time away from work. Merrillville Injury Care provides expert diagnosis and treatment of work-related knee injuries, including arthroscopic surgical options at our onsite surgery center.
Common Workplace Knee Injuries
Work-related knee injuries we treat include ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears, MCL (medial collateral ligament) sprains, meniscus tears, patellar tendinitis, knee bursitis (prepatellar bursitis), knee fractures, and aggravation of pre-existing knee arthritis by work-related trauma. These injuries frequently result from falls, twisting motions, heavy lifting, kneeling, and direct impact to the knee.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Our knee injury evaluation includes stability testing, range of motion assessment, digital X-ray, and MRI coordination to identify the specific structures involved. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment planning and for establishing the work-relatedness of the injury for workers’ compensation purposes.
Treatment Options
Conservative treatment includes physical therapy, bracing, activity modification, and corticosteroid or PRP injections. When surgery is indicated, Dr. Rerri performs arthroscopic knee surgery at our onsite surgery center, including meniscus repair and debridement, ACL reconstruction, and other minimally invasive procedures. Post-surgical rehabilitation is coordinated on-site for a seamless recovery.
