Overview
I have lived and worked in Raleigh for more than 30 years, practicing orthopaedic surgery and enjoying family life with my wife and three children. At work, I have a special interest in fracture care, foot and ankle surgery, joint replacement, and sports medicine. Before joining the Duke family, I served as a team physician for NC State University athletics for 16 years. At home, I enjoy traveling with my family, home projects and vegetable gardening. As a family, we enjoying hiking the national parks and overseas, competing in road running and obstacle course races, as well as attending college and professional sporting events. I look forward to serving you.

James R. Urbaniak, MD, Sports Sciences Institute
I have the opportunity to help restore function and allow patients to resume what they want and need to do. Some patients just need to understand their condition, while others may benefit from therapy or surgery. I treat conditions in the upper extremity, from the elbow to the hand. This includes common conditions, such as fractures, dislocations, and ligament injuries of the hand, wrist, or forearm. I also treat nerve compressions in the wrist or elbow, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome, arthritis of the thumb, hand, and wrist, and tendonitis. I also see patients of all ages for less common conditions, such as vascular disorders and developmental and acquired conditions. Outside of work, I enjoy sports and spending time with my family.
