Conditions and patient guides

Shoulder and elbow only, from injections and keyhole surgery through to joint replacement and trauma. The guides and decision aids are written for patients, so you can read about your own problem before your appointment and come back to the same material afterwards.

Shoulder

  • Rotator cuff tears

    Pain lifting the arm, and pain at night. Many tears settle without surgery; keyhole repair is a day case.

    Patient guide

  • Frozen shoulder

    Stiffness that limits reaching and dressing. Most cases improve; injection and release are options.

    Patient guideDecision aid: which treatment?

  • Shoulder instability

    Shoulders that dislocate or feel unstable, often after a first injury in a younger patient.

    Decision aid: risk of another dislocation

  • Shoulder replacement

    A reliable operation for arthritis that no longer responds to simpler measures.

Elbow

  • Tennis and golfer's elbow

    Pain on the outside or inside of the elbow. Most cases settle without surgery, with clear guidance on what helps.

  • Cubital tunnel syndrome

    Numbness and tingling in the little and ring fingers from pressure on the nerve behind the elbow.

The 3D shoulder model shows normal anatomy alongside many of these conditions and the operations used to treat them.
