Orthopaedic Surgeon

Shoulder and Elbow Specialist

Toby Baring is a highly experienced orthopaedic specialist working in London.

Acromio-clavicular joint reconstruction

The aim of the operation is to stabilise the end of the collarbone in relationship to the shoulder blade which should make the ACJ pain free and restore function to the shoulder and arm.

Acromioplasty

The operation aims to increase the space between the shoulder and acromion. This is done by removing some tissue and shaving away some of the bone on the underside and lateral side of the acromion.

The Bone block procedure for shoulder instability

The aim of the operation is to replace lost bone from the side of the socket. This can be done by using the end of the collar bone (clavicle) from the same shoulder and attaching it to the front of the shoulder socket to fill in the defect in the bone.

Capsular release for Frozen Shoulder

The aim of the operation for this condition is to regain the normal (or at least a functional) range of movement for your shoulder. The operation may just involve you being anaesthetised and the surgeon manipulating the shoulder to break down the scarred tissue.

Frozen Shoulder

Reverse Shoulder Replacement

The aim of the operation is to replace the diseased joint surfaces with artificial prostheses. The top of the humerus (the ball part of the joint) is replaced with a socket made from plastic and metal.

Repair of the Rotator Cuff

The aim of the operation is to repair the torn tendon. Most repairs are performed via key-hole surgery however some may be performed as an open procedure.

Stabilisation of the shoulder

The aim of the operation is to repair a ring of cartilage (glenoid labrum) around the socket. This has been pulled off during a shoulder dislocation. This will increase stability by deepening the socket of the shoulder joint and tightening the ligaments and capsule to minimise the risk of further dislocation.

Anatomical Shoulder replacement

The aim of the operation is to replace the diseased joint surfaces with artificial prostheses. The top of the humerus (the ball part of the joint) is replaced with a strong alloy metal or hard composite. The side of the scapula (the socket part of the joint) is replaced with a piece of durable, moulded plastic.

Long head of biceps tenodesis

Tenodesis essentially means to re-attach a tendon in a new position. The biceps tendon can just be released to deal with the pain but it may lead to some mild forearm weakness and a change in the appearance of the biceps muscle.

Long head of biceps tenotomy

A tenotomy means simply “to cut a tendon”. In isolation, this is aquick procedure with a quick recovery and involves putting a camera in the shoulder joint, identifying the biceps tendon and releasing it at the point where it inserts into the socket. The tendon will then retract out of the joint towards the muscle and become redundant and painless.
