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.
As your local Adelaide shoulder surgeon, Dr Nimon specialises in shoulder reconstructions and arthroscopy (minimally invasive surgery) for a range of conditions including sports injuries, rotator cuff injuries and severe dislocations.
About Dr Nimon
As well as performing surgeries, Dr Nimon is Head of Shoulder and Upper Limb Surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and a fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh as well as the Australian Orthopaedic Association.
Dr Nimon is very experienced in Orthopaedic Surgery, teaching medical students and Orthopaedic trainees as part of his employment as a senior lecturer at the University of Adelaide and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
