Dr. Nyagon Duany at Norton Healthcare is a dual fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon serving patients throughout the Louisville metro area. With specialized training in both sports medicine and total shoulder replacement, she offers a level of expertise that very few surgeons can provide. As one of the few female orthopedic surgeons for adults in the region and a former Division I athlete, Dr. Duany brings a unique perspective to her practice, connecting with patients from all backgrounds and walks of life. She takes a personalized approach to every case, listening carefully, answering questions honestly, and working with each patient to achieve the best possible outcome.
Most orthopedic surgeons specialize in one area. Dr. Duany has completed a dual fellowship, meaning she has training in both sports medicine and total shoulder replacement. That combination is extraordinarily rare, and it means she is equally equipped to treat a young athlete with a labral tear and an older patient in need of a shoulder replacement.
Rather than referring you elsewhere when your case becomes more complex, Dr. Duany has the training to guide you through every stage of your orthopedic care, from conservative management to advanced surgical intervention, all under one roof.

For patients with large or complex rotator cuff tears, the strength and integrity of the repair can be the difference between a full recovery and a re-tear. Dr. Nya Duany uses ZuriMED graft augmentation to reinforce rotator cuff repairs, adding a biological scaffold that supports healing and reduces the risk of failure in challenging cases. ZuriMED's collagen-based graft integrates with the body's own tissue over time, providing both immediate mechanical support and a framework for long-term tendon regeneration — giving patients the best possible foundation for a durable, lasting repair.
