Surgery For The Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

And Rotator Cuff Tears

 

 

If you require surgery for rotator cuff impingement or rotator cuff tears this site may be of interest to you.  I have tried to put together a sequence of pages so that you may surf your way through the whole surgical experience. 

Hopefully by providing this  information in logical manner which applies directly to you having surgery by us, this may allay many anxieties.

 

General comments about shoulder rotator cuff impingement and rotator cuff tears are so well covered on the net that I could not try to reproduce such fine work. I will try and tie this information together in a logical sequence  as it will apply to you if you were to undergo the operative procedure.

 

Any feedback would be gratefully received, but I am unable to answer  any specific questions about your individual case you may have by email.

This web site has been put together specifically for my patients, but may also apply in general to anyone undergoing shoulder surgery wherever you are in the world.
