Duke’s Orthopaedic Urgent Care delivers prompt, expert care for acute bone, joint, muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries—such as sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and sports-related trauma—without the need for appointments. Open daily with lower copays than emergency departments, it minimizes exposure to illness and avoids long waits.
Staffed by orthopaedic specialists, the clinic efficiently evaluates and treats closed fractures, joint pain, and back or neck issues not related to significant trauma, offering a tailored experience that general urgent care cannot match. For severe injuries—like open fractures, head or facial trauma, amputations, chest injuries, motor vehicle accident traumas, or diagnosed shoulder dislocations—the advice remains to call 911 or seek emergency care.
