Your
upper limb 
surgery 
at Burnside

Burnside Hospital offers treatment for a broad range of upper limb conditions that can affect your ability to perform daily activities.

• Shoulder Joint Replacement: for patients with advanced shoulder arthritis or severe injury, shoulder joint replacement surgery can restore function and alleviate pain, enabling patients to regain mobility and improve quality of life.
• Arthroscopy: this minimally invasive procedure allows surgeons to examine the inside of the shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand joint and repair damaged tissues such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons with minimal scarring and a faster recovery time.
• Minimally Invasive Shoulder Surgery: using the latest surgical techniques enables our surgeons to perform minimally invasive shoulder surgeries for reduced tissue damage, shortened recovery times, and minimised post-operative pain associated with conditions such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, and impingement syndrome.

We understand the importance of restoring function and mobility to help you return to your daily activities as quickly and safely as possible. Whether you are seeking treatment for a fracture, arthritis, or need a joint replacement, we provide the expertise, advanced technology, and compassionate care needed for optimal outcomes.
