Dr. James R. Post

I am an orthopedic surgeon with additional training in hand, peripheral nerve, and microvascular surgery. My practice, in particular, focuses on the treatment of acute and chronic peripheral nerve injuries in patients of all ages, from birth to adult. These encompass injuries in both the arms and legs, the brachial plexus, as well as extremity dysfunction that result from stroke, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, or spinal cord injuries. In our clinic, we strive to listen and systematically work to diagnose the injury in order to present treatment strategies. Treatment may include careful observation with therapy or surgical options that involve nerve decompression, repair, or reconstruction or extremity reanimation through muscle, tendon, or bone-based surgeries. In providing comprehensive multi-disciplinary care to achieve the best outcome, we have established a peripheral nerve team with providers from neurosurgery, plastic surgery, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, radiology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. Understanding that recovering from nerve injuries takes time, my team and I will be alongside you at each step in your journey toward restoring function and well-being.

At Duke Health, I am fortunate to be part of a world-class orthopaedic trauma and reconstruction surgery team that is committed to outstanding patient care. I specialize in fracture surgery, complex fracture-related infections, shoulder replacement for shoulder fractures, as well as direct anterior approach hip replacement for arthritis or previous hip fractures. I cherish the opportunity to be there for my patients during their time of most need. I chose orthopaedic trauma and reconstruction surgery because I have the unique opportunity to provide a solution to challenging problems every day as part of a multidisciplinary team. As an orthopaedic trauma surgeon, I meet many of my patients during the most difficult time of their lives. I am honored to be able to provide excellent surgical treatment for my patients in their time of need, but I am also humbled to lead the team that helps them through their recovery after surgery. Whether it's in the emergency room for a fracture or in the office for a problem related to hip arthritis, I look forward to meeting you and working with you to build a plan specific to your needs to maximize your chances of recovery.

I am a shoulder, knee, hip, and sports medicine surgeon at Duke Health and am heavily involved in minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques and the prevention of sports injuries. I cultivated these interests during my time in the military. My areas of interest and expertise are in shoulder and knee injuries in athletes and techniques and treatments to return these patients back to high levels of function or sport. I treat conditions, such as shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and shoulder arthritis with a joint replacement.  My knee expertise is in ligament, cartilage, and meniscus injuries. I am involved in research, technique, and product development for each of these conditions to better help my patients.
