Shoulder and Elbow Problems

With an ageing population as well as with increasing numbers of adults participating in sporting activities, shoulder and elbow problems are increasing in frequency. Common shoulder problems include rotator cuff tendonitis, impingment syndrome of the shoulder to frank shoulder dislocations. Common elbow problems usually include tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) as well as golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis). Please refer to the pages on shoulder and elbow problems for more details (under patient education).

Arthroscopic Surgery and Sports Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is basically minimally invasive surgery using key hole access to handle joint problems. This basically entails the use of a camera with small portals to treat cartilage problems as well as ligament problems of the joints. This can be carried out in most joints in the body and is most frequently carried out on the knee. With increasing numbers of younger adults participating in vigorous sporting activities, there is an increasing incidence of injury to the various joints of the body, mainly the shoulder as well as the knee. However, with the advent of arthroscopic surgery, many of these conditions can be handled using an arthroscope which is essentially a day surgical procedure.
