Shoulder & Elbow Surgery

Damage to the group of tendons that stabilise the shoulder, often causing pain, weakness and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm.

A condition where the shoulder joint gradually becomes inflamed and stiff, leading to ongoing pain and a significant reduction in movement.

When the shoulder joint repeatedly slips out of place or feels loose, often due to injury or trauma.

Painful conditions caused by strain or overuse of the forearm tendons, leading to discomfort around the elbow that can worsen with gripping or lifting.

Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs or tendons around the joint, resulting in swelling, tenderness and restricted movement.

Conditions that gradually affect the joints, causing pain, stiffness and reduced function due to wear and tear or inflammation.

Injuries such as broken bones or severe joint damage may require surgical intervention to restore strength, alignment and movement.

We perform most shoulder and elbow procedures as day surgery. Some patients may need to stay overnight, depending on the procedure and their needs.

Some discomfort is usual after surgery, but pain relief will typically manage it well. Your care team will ensure you’re comfortable throughout your recovery.

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure and your condition. Your consultant will explain what to expect and guide you through each healing stage.

Returning to work or sport depends on your job, activity level and the type of surgery you’ve had. Your consultant will provide personalised advice during follow-up appointments.
