Treatment for elbow and shoulder problems in Harley Street
Acromioclavicular joint injuries
The joint between the outer end of the collar bone (clavicle) and shoulder blade (scapula) is called the acromioclavicular joint. The joint can be injured by a fall on to the point of the shoulder that can disrupt the joint and tear the ligaments which hold the joint in place. Read more about the treatment of acromioclavicular joint injuries.
Arthritis of the shoulder
Arthritis of the shoulder is relatively rare compared with osteoarthritis affecting the hip or knee, but the principles of treatment are similar. Read more about the treatment of arthritis of the shoulder.
Frozen shoulder treatment
Frozen shoulder is a painful condition in which the shoulder becomes painful and stiff due to inflammation and thickening of the capsule (sack) around the shoulder joint. Read more about the treatment of frozen shoulder.
Treatment of rotator cuff tears
The rotator cuff tendon may tear due to abrasion caused by a bone spur on the front corner of the shoulder blade (acromion) or from an acute injury resulting in a painful, weak shoulder. Read more about the treatment of rotator cuff tears.
Shoulder dislocations
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. It has the greatest tendency to dislocate (come out of joint) of any joint in the body. This is due to the fact that the socket (glenoid) is very shallow compared with the diameter of the ball. Read more about the treatment of shoulder dislocations.
Subacromial impingement
The rotator cuff consists of four tendons that arise from muscles attached to the scapula (shoulder blade). The function of the cuff is to allow shoulder movement. The tendon runs beneath an arch made up of bone and a ligament. This is called the subacromial arch. Read more about the treatment of subacromial impingement.
Arthrosopic subacromial decompression
This shoulder surgery is performed by keyhole surgery to increase he amount of space above the rotator cuff tendons to allow the tendons to pass freely beneath the bone of the front part of the shoulder blade as the arm is raised. Read more about arthrosopic subacromial decompression.
Shoulder arthroscopy
Arthroscopy, commonly known as ‘keyhole surgery’, involves the insertion of a special telescope with a camera known as an arthroscope into the shoulder joint. Usually only two or three 5mm puncture wounds are required avoiding large wounds and scars. Read more about the shoulder arthroscopy.
Tennis elbow
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is due to small tears in a tendon at its attachment to the bone on the outer side of the elbow. It often starts after repetitive excessive activity such as gardening or racquet sports. Where symptoms occur over the inner aspect of the elbow it is referred to as medial epicondylitis or golfer’s elbow. Read more about the treatment of tennis elbow.
