I first saw Mr.Yewlett several years after a flying accident had resulted in severe injury to my right shoulder which necessitated a plate in the collarbone and numerous screws to hold the humerous head together (this surgery was carried out at Sheffield hospital). Over the following years I saw Mr.Yewlett regularly and my condition was monitored; I started to suffer from sever arthritic pain in the shoulder. Mr.Yewlett operated to remove some of the metalwork and I had injections to relieve pain. Eventually I was given the option of a total reverse shoulder replacement. Waiting time for this operation was relatively short and I was seen by Mr.Yewlett whilst waiting for the operations who discussed the options available to me. I received a new shoulder in November 2023. Recovery was surprisingly quick and three months later I have regained good movement in my shoulder with minimal pain. The recovery process and timescales have bee fully explained to me and I am extremely happy at how the shoulder replacement has improved my quality of life. I would certainly recommend Mr.Yewlett to anyone considering this surgery.
