Mr Robert Kessler, FRCS (Tr & Orth)

Mr Robert Kessler (FRCS (Tr & Orth)) is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a shoulder and elbow practice, operating across the range of shoulder arthroplasty: anatomic total replacement for the arthritic joint with a working rotator cuff, reverse replacement for cuff tear arthropathy and complex cases, and hemiarthroplasty for selected fractures, along with the revision work when an earlier replacement fails.

He goes through the clinical content on Capital Health Summit line by line, weighing the parts that matter most: how the three operations are described and told apart, when the rotator cuff points to a reverse rather than a total, the figures on recovery, implant survival, and complications such as infection, dislocation, and loosening, and the honest account of who should think hard before proceeding. When a sentence starts to read like a guarantee, he reins it in to what the studies and registries genuinely show.

Think of his involvement as a mark of editorial accuracy rather than a personal consultation. Whether shoulder replacement suits you, which of the three operations fits your joint, and what movement and durability are realistic are questions for a surgeon who can examine your shoulder, read your own imaging, and follow you up afterwards.
