About
Dr. John B. Hubbard

I am a clinical associate professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. I serve as the director of sports medicine for undergraduate sports teams and the director of the Orthopaedic Physician Assistant Fellowship Program.
I am board certified in general orthopaedics with a certificate of additional qualification in sports medicine. I treat multiple conditions affecting bones and joints, including sports trauma, fractures, and tendon ruptures. Additionally, I specialize in shoulder and knee conditions, arthroscopic hip tendon repairs, and partial knee replacements.
My research interests include endoscopic hip tendon repair techniques and outcomes, unicompartmental knee replacement, and collaborative group projects including multi-center trials.
