Restoring Performance. Advancing Sports Medicine.

Nationally-Recognized Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Surgeon, Researcher & Educator

Jeffrey R. Dugas, MD, is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic sports medicine surgeon at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham, Alabama, and one of the nation’s leading experts in the treatment of shoulder, elbow and knee injuries in athletes and active individuals.

He provides comprehensive sports medicine care for patients of all ages, from youth and high school athletes to collegiate and professional competitors and active adults seeking to maintain healthy, active lifestyles.

Pioneer of UCL Repair with Internal Brace Surgery

Dr. Dugas is a pioneer of UCL Repair with Internal Brace surgery, an advanced treatment option that has redefined treatment and return-to-play timelines for throwing athletes. To date, he has performed more than 400 UCL repair procedures on professional, collegiate and amateur overhand throwing athletes from across the United States, establishing him among the nation’s most experienced surgeons performing this advanced procedure.

His leadership in UCL repair is grounded in both surgical experience and scientific investigation. As a principal investigator and fellowship director, he has helped shape modern treatment algorithms for elbow injuries in competitive throwers through rigorous clinical research and long-term outcome analysis.

Through Andrews Sports Medicine’s longstanding partnership with the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), Dr. Dugas co-authored a landmark outcomes study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine (March 2025) comparing UCL repair with Internal Brace to traditional UCL reconstruction. The study demonstrated comparable return-to-play rates with significantly accelerated recovery timelines in appropriately selected athletes, helping establish repair as a validated, evidence-based advancement in modern sports medicine.

Advancing Sports Medicine Through Research & Physician Education

Due to the injuries he suffered from years of playing baseball, Dr. Dugas developed a true passion for the health and injury prevention of youth baseball players. He continues to work with athletes to advance the field of sports injury treatment and prevention, and much of his research focuses on throwing athletes and the unique demands placed on their bodies throughout competition.

Dr. Dugas has contributed significantly to the field of sports medicine through clinical research, physician education and scientific publication. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and textbook chapters related to injuries of the shoulder and elbow in throwing athletes, vascular injuries in throwers, rotator cuff pathology and UCL tears of the elbow. He has also published manuscripts on the treatment of knee ligament injuries and cartilaginous defects of the knee.

After fellowship, Dr. Dugas joined the Alabama Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center and later became a partner at Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees for both the American Baseball Foundation and the American Sports Medicine Institute, where he conducts research and serves as Director of the ASMI Sports Medicine Fellowship Program, one of the nation’s premier orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships responsible for training the next generation of leaders in the field.

Through his clinical practice, research and physician education, Dr. Dugas continues to help shape the future of orthopaedic sports medicine both nationally and internationally.

Trusted by Athletes at Every Level

Dr. Dugas serves as Associate Medical Director for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). In addition, he serves as Medical Director for ACE Cheer and USA Cheer, the national governing body for cheerleading, and is a member of the National Concussion Task Force for the prevention of concussions in youth sports.

Dr. Dugas serves as a team physician for Troy University, Tuskegee University and Miles College, as well as numerous high schools throughout Alabama. He also provides sports medicine coverage for the Birmingham Barons, the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and the Alabama Ballet. He has been named one of Birmingham’s Best Doctors for ten consecutive years and has been recognized by his peers as one of the top orthopaedic surgeons in the state of Alabama.

Education, Leadership & Professional Service

A native of Schenectady, New York, Dr. Dugas graduated from North Carolina State University with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering before earning his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in 1994. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Following residency, he completed a sports medicine fellowship at the American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, under the direction of James R. Andrews, MD, and William G. Clancy, Jr., MD.

Dr. Dugas holds memberships in numerous professional societies, including the American Orthopaedic Association, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine, American Medical Association, Medical Association of Alabama and the Jefferson County Medical Society.

He's been named one of Birmingham's Best Doctors for ten consecutive years and has been recognized by his peers as one of the top orthopaedic surgeons in the state of Alabama.

Dr. Dugas and his wife, Tracie, are avid sports fans and enjoy spending time with their adult children, Christopher and Caroline. In his free time, Dr. Dugas enjoys golf, baseball, fishing and playing guitar.

Sarah Ashlee Barker | Hoover, AL
I’m currently a sophomore at Briarwood Christian School who discovered lacrosse six years ago, and the sport has become one of my biggest passions. After two major knee surgeries and a long recovery, being back on the field feels like the ultimate victory and fills me with a renewed sense of confidence and gratitude.

Elon Maddox | Vestavia Hills, AL
I remember standing on the court at Wimbledon, barely able to lift my arm, knowing I couldn’t serve the way I wanted. All I could think was, “This isn’t how my story ends.” My elbow was shot, my hamstring torn, and I was taped up just trying to get through the match. A few months later, I was serving underhand, wondering if I’d ever play real tennis again. But something in me refused to quit — and that’s where the comeback began.

Caty McNally | Cincinnati, OH
Going into my junior year of high school I had never had a surgery before. That quickly changed as I found my self injuring my right knee in the fall and my left knee in the spring. Both injuries required surgery, and I was so scared. Now as I continue to recover from my second surgery, I know I can trust Andrews Sports Medicine to always be there for me.
