SHOULDER

Shoulder conditions and surgery

Detailed patient guides on the shoulder problems I treat most often. If you are not sure which applies to you, start with the distinction between weakness and stiffness, because that single question separates the two commonest conditions.

Rotator cuff tear

Night pain and weakness lifting the arm. How to tell a cuff tear from a frozen shoulder or a neck problem, how to read your MRI report, and which tears actually need repair.

Frozen shoulder

The test that confirms it, the three phases and why the right treatment changes at each one, why diabetes matters, and when release is genuinely needed.

Massive rotator cuff tear

If you have been told your tear cannot be repaired, read this first. Why that judgement is often made too early, and what remains possible.

Also treated

Recurrent shoulder dislocation and instability, Bankart repair and Latarjet, SLAP tears and biceps problems, impingement and calcific tendinitis, AC joint injury, shoulder arthritis, and shoulder replacement including reverse replacement.

Guides on these are being added. In the meantime, they are all treated in this practice and can be discussed at consultation.

Shoulder pain that is not improving?

One examination usually settles what is actually wrong, and that single answer decides whether your current treatment is helping you or holding you back.
