​Left shoulder complex multifragmentary fracture hemiarthroplasty plus multifragment cerclage/tuberosity reconstruction plus biceps tenodesis arising from high speed ski crash Having been helicoptered and off the mountain in chamonix and air ambulanced back to the UK multiple surgeons did not even wish to countenance the operation needed . Only the fingers in my left hand moved a little and the 8 cm snapped upper half of my humerus bone had rotated 90 degrees pressing against nerves and main artery. After loads of scans of bones arteries nerve tests over a two week period mr Gupta warned me the outcome was uncertain till he went in and saw exactly what was going on. Amazingly replaced the shattered ball and put in the rod to my elbow and then attached loads of bone fragments together so all the tendons rotator cuff were reattached and saved my natural socket. My fingers had started to work a bit and my forearm was moving a fraction just before the operation (after nearby 3 weeks in hospital so all the tests could be done ) . After the operation he told me to start working hard under physio supervision within 3 days of the surgery . I could barely move a thing and my upper arm was dead due to crushed nerves. For the next two years under his supervision with physio no training slowly but surely things started to work. Within a year I was driving mountain biking ( did an off road 100km night time charity ride !) and even went skiing at the two year mark . I’m getting stronger and there really nothing I can’t do apart from pull ups and monkey bars though I have done a go ape ! It’s been amazing and frankly in my opinion Mt Gupta walks on water. Thankyou !!!
