Munster Specialty Surgery Center
Dr. Della Valle has been operating at Munster Specialty Surgery Center since 2013 performing outpatient hip replacement, knee replacement, partial knee replacement and hip resurfacing at the center. The center is located at 9200 Calumet Avenue in Munster, IN. The experience in Northwest Indiana has been so positive that Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush has now opened an office near the surgery center to better serve our patients in the area. That office allows us to not only see new patients, but follow ups as well. The office has a full physical and occupational therapy offerings as well as MRI scanning.
The surgery center in Munster is a brand new, state of the art facility. There are several benefits to surgery at the center, however it is not right for everyone. For example patients who have extensive medical problems or who have had problems with pain control after surgery. Please ask us if this is an option for you.
The main advantage is a much more personalized experience at a small facility. Further, Dr. Della Valle has complete control over your experience here, including the use of the most up to date pain protocols. We have excellent anesthesia and nursing staff here who are all motivated to ensure an outstanding patient experience.
This is a 23-hour facility where patients can stay overnight with a private nurse who will be there just for you. We have found, however, that very few patients choose this option as they are comfortable and able to walk safely shortly after surgery.

Dr. Della Valle does have an ownership interest in the surgery center and was one of its founding members.
