Mr Tomlinson is a specialist expert in a broad range of Orthopaedic conditions affecting the arm (upper limb) covering the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. The surgical services he offers includes joint replacements, keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery, dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger/thumb, nerve compression (eg. Carpal tunnel syndrome), repetitive strain injuries, microsurgery, joint instability and sports injuries/trauma.
