Dr. Adam Brekke
Overview
I am an orthopaedic surgeon that specializes in anterior-based muscle sparing hip replacements and muscle-sparing knee replacements, as well as nonsurgical treatments for hip and knee pain. Additionally, I treat patients who have had a previous hip or knee replacement that is causing symptoms or dysfunction. When I meet patients, I devote time to learn about them, what their priorities are, and how their hip or knee issue is impacting their life. Based on their ailment, I'll help guide them to select the treatment options that are best suited for them. The most enjoyable part of my job is celebrating with patients when they succeed in achieving their goals and lifestyles they had hoped for. I look forward to meeting and helping you.

Clinical Research

North Carolina Orthopaedic Clinic
I am an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in upper extremity conditions. My focus is on treating orthopaedic issues related to the shoulder and elbow, including arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, labral tears, frozen shoulder, sports injuries, fractures, tendon injuries, and cubital tunnel syndrome. I offer both conservative and surgical treatment options, collaborating with each patient to determine the best plan of care based on their individual goals. My expertise includes various shoulder surgeries such as reverse total shoulder arthroplasty, anatomic shoulder arthroplasty, and shoulder hemiarthroplasty, as well as procedures like rotator cuff repair, shoulder labral reconstruction, and shoulder arthroscopy. Additionally, I address upper extremity fractures, including those of the shoulder, clavicle, humeral shaft, and elbow. My personal experience with injuries has shaped my approach, allowing me to empathize with patients and treat them with compassion and respect. I am actively involved in research, with a specific focus on the shoulder. The collaborative research environment at Duke Health is unparalleled, and I find great satisfaction in helping patients regain their desired level of activity.

Duke Orthopaedics Arringdon
I pursued the specialty of Orthopaedic surgery as I was drawn to the opportunity to care for patients on their journey to maintain or return to an active and healthy lifestyle. In particular, the subspecialty of foot and ankle surgery was especially appealing as the foot and ankle serve as the foundation for the entire musculoskeletal system, with a broad array of pathology and patient populations being affected. I have the honor of caring for patients of all walks of life including all ages and activity levels. Dr. Robert is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tendinitis.
