Our orthopaedic surgeons and specialists at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist treat every type of condition — from broken bones to complex joint replacements — with advanced techniques and research-based approaches.
Our goal is to provide you with the most advanced care possible, regardless of whether your injury requires routine or complex treatment. We also offer an orthopaedic urgent care in this location.
Our orthopaedics program is one of the most popular in the state, and our orthopaedic surgeons and specialists consistently rank as Best Doctors in the area. Many of them specialize in unique procedures not performed at any other area hospital, including several that are minimally invasive.
In fact, whenever possible, our orthopaedic surgeons will recommend a minimally invasive approach. Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgeries reduce recovery time, pain and risk of infection for our patients.
Highlights of our orthopaedic services include:
Hand, Shoulder and Elbow

Orthopaedic Oncology
Treating orthopaedic cancers requires diagnostic and surgical expertise, as well as caring and compassionate surgeons who can manage challenging situations.
At the Comprehensive Cancer Center, our orthopaedic oncologists provide comprehensive care for the diagnosis and treatment of orthopaedic cancers, including bone tumors, soft tissue tumors, sarcomas and metastatic bone lesions. We provide the same level of expertise and care to both adults and children.
We frequently consult with medical and radiation oncology to ensure our patients are receiving the most advanced and complete cancer care.
Our fellowship-trained orthopaedic oncologists are considered pioneers in needle biopsies and excel at limb salvage operations, having saved functional limbs that otherwise would have required amputation.
Fracture Prevention Service
The goal of our fracture prevention program is to help our patients minimize their risk of fragility fractures. For patients who are 50 years old or older and have had a fracture, or if a provider feels that a patient will benefit from a bone health evaluation, our fracture prevention service could be a resource to help.
