At Kings Oak Hospital, you can access private shoulder surgery in Enfield with prompt appointments, consultant-led care, and personalised treatment plans. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of shoulder conditions, using both non-surgical and surgical techniques to help reduce pain, restore movement, and improve function.
From your initial consultation through to rehabilitation, your care is tailored to your individual needs and recovery goals.
Your treatment will be led by an experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon with expertise in shoulder conditions and surgery.
During your consultation, your consultant will take the time to understand your symptoms, examine your shoulder, and review any previous treatments or investigations. They'll explain your diagnosis clearly and discuss the treatment options best suited to your condition.
Every shoulder condition is different, which is why your care is tailored specifically to you.
Whether you require physiotherapy, injection therapy, keyhole surgery, or shoulder replacement, you'll receive coordinated support from a multidisciplinary team committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome.
Shoulder surgery includes a range of procedures used to diagnose, repair, or replace damaged structures within the shoulder joint.
While many shoulder conditions improve with physiotherapy and other conservative treatments, surgery may be recommended when symptoms persist, movement becomes increasingly restricted, or structural damage prevents the shoulder from functioning normally.
The aim of surgery is to relieve pain, improve stability, restore movement, and help you return to your normal activities with greater comfort.
The cost of your surgery will depend on various factors, including the details of the procedure and which consultant you choose. We’ll give you a full itemised quote before you book.
You can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
Shoulder surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues.
Common conditions include:
Your consultant will carefully assess your symptoms before recommending the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Many shoulder conditions can be treated successfully without surgery.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include physiotherapy, activity modification, pain-relieving medication, corticosteroid injections, or other image-guided injection therapies.
These treatments often reduce pain, improve movement, and strengthen the muscles supporting your shoulder, helping many patients avoid surgery altogether.
Your consultant will always explore conservative treatment options before recommending an operation where appropriate.
If surgery is recommended, the type of procedure will depend on your diagnosis and the extent of damage within your shoulder.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and specialised instruments to diagnose and treat problems inside the shoulder joint.
It can be used to repair damaged tissue, remove inflamed tissue, treat impingement, or address cartilage injuries while requiring only small incisions.
Your rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise your shoulder and allow you to lift and rotate your arm.
If one or more of these tendons tears, surgery may be recommended to repair the damage and restore shoulder strength and movement.
If your shoulder repeatedly dislocates or feels unstable, surgery may be performed to repair the damaged ligaments and soft tissues that support the joint.
This procedure aims to improve stability while reducing the risk of future dislocations.
For advanced arthritis or severe joint damage, shoulder replacement surgery may provide long-term pain relief and improved mobility.
During the procedure, damaged parts of the shoulder joint are replaced with artificial components designed to restore smooth, comfortable movement.
Surgery is generally considered when non-surgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief or when there is significant structural damage within the shoulder.
You may benefit from surgery if you experience persistent pain, weakness, repeated dislocations, limited movement, or symptoms that continue to interfere with your work, hobbies, sleep, or everyday activities.
Your consultant will explain the potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes before helping you decide whether surgery is the right option.
Recovery depends on the type of procedure you have undergone and your individual circumstances.
After surgery, you may need to wear a sling for a period of time while your shoulder begins to heal. Your consultant will advise how long this is likely to be based on the procedure performed.
Physiotherapy is an essential part of recovery and usually begins soon after surgery. Your rehabilitation programme will gradually help restore movement, rebuild strength, and improve flexibility while protecting the healing tissues.
Regular follow-up appointments will allow your consultant to monitor your progress and adjust your recovery plan where necessary.
Returning to normal activities following shoulder surgery is a gradual process.
Depending on your procedure, you may be able to resume light daily activities within a few weeks, while more demanding work or sporting activities may take several months.
Your consultant and physiotherapist will provide personalised advice throughout your rehabilitation, helping you return safely to the activities that matter most to you.
