Mr Sinnerton treats all conditions affecting the shoulder and elbow whether caused accidentaly, from sports injuries, or due to arthritis or congenital problems.

He uses the best of the new technological advances to help his patients in particular arthroscopic (keyhole) operations that minimise scarring and allow a faster recovery.

He has developed a national and international reputation in the use of ‘reverse geometry shoulder replacement’ to treat severely arthritic shoulders. He recently published an article on shoulder replacement in the leading orthopaedic journal and in the past year has been invited to lecture on and demonstrate this procedure at prestigious meetings in the US and France.

He is the shoulder and elbow specialist in a number of private clinics in Berkshire, Surrey and London (Windsor, Woking, Ashtead and Harley Street) with regular clinics through the week and in the evenings.
