In September of 2009 Triangle Orthopaedics opened an orthopaedic urgent care center at its Wake Forest/Wakefield facility located at 11550 Common Oaks Drive.

This orthopaedic urgent care center is open during extended hours, from 5pm until 9:30pm Monday through Friday. This urgent care center will be closed on Saturdays and holidays. X-ray is available.

Triangle Orthopaedics Urgent Care Center offers the added security of being in close proximity to Wake Med North and Rex Healthcare of Wakefield, in the event a person’s orthopaedic injury turns out to be more serious than originally thought. A transfer to the hospital will be arranged for anyone whose orthopaedic or other condition is considered to be serious. The cost of a visit to this orthopaedic urgent care facility is considerably less than the average hospital emergency room visit, and is covered by many insurance plans. It is important, however, for individuals to check with their insurance carrier to be certain of coverage.

It is our hope that providing this new service assists in the management of patients with acute musculoskeletal injuries occurring after hours that do not require an emergency room visit.
