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.
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, many of which 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:
Joint Replacement Program
We offer one of the most comprehensive joint replacement programs in the region. From minimally invasive to bone-sparing procedures, our full menu of surgical options fits patients of all ages and activity levels.
Our orthopaedic team includes surgeons who are highly trained specialists in their fields. That means they focus on diagnosing and treating problems in only one region of the body, such as the knees, hips or shoulders.
Our team has received national awards for our Orthopaedic and Joint Program and is the first in the state to earn the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval for Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement. These awards speak to the experience, quality and safety of our surgeons and the gold standard of care we provide to our patients.
Orthobiologics
Orthobiologics are special substances from our bodies or natural sources that doctors use to aid tissue repair and regeneration. These substances can be things like growth factors, stem cells or proteins. Orthobiologic treatments are injected directly into the area that needs healing. This can encourage your body to repair damaged tissues, reduce pain and improve your overall function.

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 service 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.
