This was my third surgery under the care of Mr Relwani – I trust him implicitly – hence repeat referrals – outstanding outcome each time!

I cannot fault him. Mr Relwani is approachable, understanding and does what he says he will. I felt 100% safe and positive with him and his team.

Mr Relwani was very thorough with checking my ailment.  He explained the procedure very clearly so I knew what to expect.

Mr Relwani is a fantastic surgeon who communicates well, listens to what you have to say and shows great empathy. I felt he provided reassurance and support throughout the whole process.

So delightful, would definitely recommend him. Mr Relwani gave me confidence and was so informative. So glad he was recommended to me.

Meticulous, concise and made you feel completely reassured.

Verso Stemless Bone Preserving Reverse Shoulder Replacement

Every year, several conventional total shoulder replacements are successfully performed in the UK for patients with shoulder arthritis. This type of surgery, however, is less beneficial for patients with large rotator cuff tears who have developed a complex type of shoulder arthritis called “cuff tear arthropathy.” For these patients, a conventional total shoulder replacement may result in persistent pain and limited motion, and a reverse total shoulder replacement is a better option.
