Conditions and patient guides
Shoulder and elbow only, from injections and keyhole surgery through to joint replacement. 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
-
Subacromial shoulder pain
Often called impingement. The commonest cause of shoulder pain, and one that usually settles with exercise.
-
Rotator cuff tears
Pain lifting the arm, and pain at night. Many tears settle without surgery; keyhole repair is a day case.
-
Frozen shoulder
Stiffness that limits reaching and dressing. Most cases improve; injection and release are options.
-
Calcific tendinitis
A calcium deposit in the tendon that can cause sudden, severe pain. The outlook is good.
-
Shoulder instability
Shoulders that dislocate or feel unstable, often after a first injury in a younger patient.
-
Arthritis and shoulder replacement
What helps an arthritic shoulder, and a reliable operation for when simpler measures no longer do.
-
Acromioclavicular joint problems
Arthritis and injuries of the small joint on top of the shoulder.
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.
Having treatment
-
Your first appointment
How to book, what to bring and what happens on the day.
-
Shoulder injections
Steroid injections, hydrodilatation and suprascapular nerve blocks: what they do, the risks and aftercare.
-
After your shoulder operation
Nerve block, sling, wound care, sleeping, driving and work.
The 3D shoulder model shows normal anatomy alongside many of these conditions and the operations used to treat them.
