Overview

I am an orthopaedic surgeon and do total hip replacements, total knee replacements, knee arthroscopy, shoulder arthroscopy, and orthopaedic trauma. We normally start with non-operative treatments, which are fairly low-risk. When those fail, then surgery becomes the only or best option. I like that orthopaedics can take patients who are debilitated, in a great deal of pain, frequently can’t sleep at night, and restore a great deal of function and improve their quality of life. It’s incredibly rewarding. Duke has a great deal of expertise and there are very few things you can’t get addressed here and in the best manner possible. We offer excellence in the orthopaedic programs we offer.

Dr. Stanley is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Osteoarthritis. His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Osteomyelitis, Tenosynovitis, Hip Replacement, and Synovectomy.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 1 peer reviewed article. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

I grew up in Durham and I am extremely proud to work here at Duke. All of my family members still call the Bull City home. Most of my education was completed in Durham, except for four years I spent down the road in Chapel Hill. I played football there and developed an interest in orthopaedic surgery that led me home. I specialize in hip and knee replacement and am very fortunate to do so. We have the ability to help so many people with these operations. It is extremely rewarding to help someone get back to doing the things they want to do with their life. Duke is the kind of place where you are challenged by the most difficult cases weekly and I appreciate that fact. We have great doctors in every field and we work as a team on every aspect of a patient's care once they enter the hospital. Dr. Bolognesi is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Osteoarthritis. His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Acute Pain, Arthritis, Knee Replacement, and Hip Replacement.

I am an orthopaedic physician and work in adult reconstructive orthopaedics, predominantly with hip- and knee-replacement surgeries. I also help manage revision surgeries and take care of people with infections or fractures around their implants. I am interested in the whole continuum of care for arthritis and not just the surgical treatment of it. Even though I specialize in surgery, not everyone needs that treatment, and as an orthopaedic doctor, my role is to help direct the whole process. The care around revision surgeries at other centers is tertiary and many times not at the same place, but here at Duke we treat patients every step of the way at the same practice and have access to the latest treatments. Dr. Jiranek is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Osteoarthritis. His top areas of expertise are Osteoarthritis, Infectious Arthritis, Septic Arthritis, Knee Replacement, and Hip Replacement.
