Shoulder Surgery
Your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. Its job is to move your shoulder forward and backward, allowing your arm to turn in a circular motion. Many muscles, tendons and ligaments are involved in supporting and stabilising your shoulder so you can move your arm.
Dr Nimon performs shoulder reconstructions and arthroscopy (minimally invasive surgery) for a range of conditions including sports injuries, rotator cuff injuries and severe dislocations..
Hand, Wrist and Elbow Surgery
Your hands, wrists and elbows are in near-constant use. Dr Nimon routinely performs surgeries for a range of hand and wrist conditions, including carpal tunnel, trigger finger or thumb and arthritis. He also performs surgery for tennis and golfer’s elbow if it is deemed necessary.
Knee Surgery
Your knee is vulnerable to injury and can be prone to developing a number of ongoing conditions that limit your movements.
