Welcome to Norfolk Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. 

Norfolk Shoulder and Elbow Surgery is the private practice website of Mr Emmet Griffiths

Its primary purpose is to provide information to patients.

My Background

I was appointed as a substantive NHS consultant in Trauma and Orthopaedics with a specialist interest in the Shoulder and Elbow at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital in August 2016.

I completed my higher surgical training on the East of England which included two years at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and four years at other regional centers. I then completed a comprehensive shoulder and elbow fellowship at the world renowned Wrightington Hospital.

I have further augmented my training with several visitations to European centre of excellence in Germany, Switzerland Italy and Spain.

I am an educational supervisor for higher surgical trainees on the East Anglian Orthopaedic rotation and have a formal mentoring role both in the Eastern Deanery and also for the University of East Anglia Medical School.

I have a specialist interest in surgery to the shoulder and elbow. The majority of my shoulder surgery is performed arthroscopically (keyhole) which allows a quicker rehabilitation. This includes repairs to the tendons of the shoulder (Rotator Cuff), arthroscopic release for frozen shoulder and arthroscopic stabilisation procedures. I also perform high volumes of shoulder replacements. I provide a full range of elbow surgery including the surgical management of arthritis of the elbow, tennis/golfers elbow and surgery on the ulnar nerve. My practice also includes a significant volume of trauma. I also therefore provide a specialist upper limb trauma service. This includes the management of both fractures and damaged ligaments around the shoulder, elbow and forearm.

I perform approximately 400 shoulder and elbow operations each year across both my NHS and Private Practice

I perform approximately 50 shoulder replacements each year across both my NHS and Private Practice
