Shoulder arthroplasty and reconstruction was the focus of my 6 month post-fellowship training at St Vincents hospital in Sydney.   My preceptors were Dr Simon Tan and Dr J Stephen Quain who both perform anatomic and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.  I developed skills in arthroscopic techniques for rotator cuff repairs, stabilisations as well as biceps surgery with Dr Tan.   Dr Quain is a respected senior orthopaedic surgeon who has been performing open shoulder surgery for more than 30 years.  I gained experience in open bankart repairs (bone/soft tissue) and open rotator cuff surgery in addition to primary and revision arthroplasty of the shoulder, hip and knee.

​

Shoulder

My particular skills include:

  • Shoulder replacement with Patient specific glenoid planning

  • BioRSA techniques for glenoid deficiency

  • Trauma:

    • Proximal humerus reconstruction or replacement

    • Complex distal humerus reconstruction

  • Distal biceps repair with single cortex technique and interference screw

  • I frequently perform arthroscopy with mini-open rotator cuff repairs to maximise biology of healing

  • Arthroscopic labral repair due to the advantages of sparing the subscapularis muscle.I perform Latarjet reconstructions with open technique.
