SHOULDER CARE
Whether you're managing shoulder arthritis, recovering from a dislocation, or dealing with a torn rotator cuff, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced surgical options tailored to restore function and relieve pain. From minimally invasive keyhole procedures to full shoulder replacements, treatment is carefully planned to suit your condition and lifestyle. With innovative techniques and a personalised approach, our goal is to help you get back to doing what you love.
ARTHROSCOPIC
Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator Cuff Repair is a minimally invasive keyhole procedure to repair rotator cuff tendon tears.

INSTABILITY
Shoulder Dislocations
Shoulder dislocations are common, particularly in younger active patients. They require careful assessment, investigations and treatment to avoid long term damage to the shoulder joint. Patients under the age of 20 who sustain a first-time shoulder dislocations have between 80-100% chance of recurrence; and those aged between 20-30 have a 70-80% chance of repeat dislocations. Patients who are involved in collision or contact type sports (especially overhead) are at much greater risk of repeat shoulder dislocations. Shoulder stabilisation surgery reduces your chance of recurrent dislocations. Longer term, without surgery, patients who continue to dislocate are at increased risk of shoulder joint arthritis.
Non-Surgical
Surgical
Arthroscopic Labral Repair
Arthroscopic Labral repair is a minimally invasive keyhole procedure to repair the torn labrum at the front and/or back of the shoulder joint. Patients wear a sling for six weeks and start therapy two weeks after surgery. Strengthening and training for your sport commences at 3 months and full, unrestricted contact is possible at 6 months after surgery.

Latarjet Procedure
The Latarjet procedure is ideal for those with complex shoulder dislocations with bone loss, failed shoulder stabilisations, or high level athletes (particularly collision or overhead contact). The surgery is more involved than a keyhole labral repair; however, post-operative pain and rehabilitation is much the same. Strengthening and training for your sport commences at 3 months and full, unrestricted contact is possible at 6 months after surgery.

REPLACEMENT
Total Shoulder Replacement
A shoulder replacement is ideal for patients with shoulder joint arthritis who have an intact rotator cuff without significant glenoid wear. Many patients with shoulder arthritis can be managed without surgery; however, when nonoperative treatment has been exhausted surgery is a reliable option to restore function and relieve pain. The latest advances with 3D planning and printing, computer navigation, and patient specific instrumentation allow for accurate placement of the components.

What is a Reverse Shoulder Replacement?
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Reverse shoulder replacement is ideal for patients with cuff tear arthritis and advanced shoulder joint arthritis with significant glenoid wear. Many patients with shoulder arthritis can be managed without surgery; however, when nonoperative treatment has been exhausted surgery is a reliable option to restore function and relieve pain.
The latest advances with 3D planning and printing, computer navigation, and patient-specific instrumentation allow for accurate placement of components leading to improved outcomes for patients.
