The practice website of Robert Duerr, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at Mercy Clinic Orthopedics in south St Louis, Missouri.
This is the practice website of Robert Duerr, described on the site as a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist working with Mercy Clinic Orthopedics in St Louis, Missouri. The site states that he is Director of the Cartilage Repair and Joint Preservation Program, acts as sports medicine and knee consultant to the St Louis Cardinals, and is a team physician for Lindenwood University.
Most of the site is surgical in emphasis: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, including a minimally invasive quadriceps tendon technique, meniscus repair, patellofemoral (kneecap) surgery, rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability repair, shoulder replacement, osteotomy (surgical realignment of bone) and cartilage restoration. Regenerative treatment is presented as one part of a wider orthopaedic practice rather than its main business.
The site lists orthobiologics — injected biological preparations — among the treatments offered, and carries separately titled pages for orthobiologics in the knee and shoulder and for platelet rich plasma (PRP, prepared from the patient's own blood). Those pages returned errors when this entry was compiled, so the detail of which preparations are used and where the material comes from is not confirmed here and would need to be asked directly.
The site gives a single address in south St Louis with stated office hours, but no prices and no statement about insurance. Because the practice sits within the Mercy health system, routine orthopaedic care is normally billed through insurance, while injected biologic treatments are often not covered; the site does not say which applies, so this would need checking.
The site describes a knee and shoulder focused sports medicine practice treating the following.
The site lists orthobiologics among its treatments but, on the pages that could be read, does not explain which biologic preparations are used or where the material comes from.
The site is built around a single named surgeon.
The site gives one location: 12700 Southfork Road, Suite 100, St Louis, Missouri 63128, with stated hours of 8.00am to 4.00pm. The practice is described as part of Mercy Clinic Orthopedics, so surgery would be carried out in Mercy hospital facilities rather than at the office itself. The site does not describe the consulting rooms, imaging equipment or any on-site laboratory.
No prices are published and the site does not state its position on insurance. As a surgical practice within a health system most care is likely billed through insurance, but injected biologic treatments are commonly self-funded, so a prospective patient would need to confirm which applies to them.
