So could you tell us a little bit about what conditions you treat? So in the shoulder we, well I treat upper limb conditions predominantly so starting from the shoulder to the hand but in the shoulder we, the most common condition we treat is impingement which affects the functioning of the rotator cuff and leads to pain. We also treat frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis to give it a more technical term. We also treat conditions arising from arthritis of the shoulder, pain and stiffness, and also conditions affecting the shoulder which occur as a result of trauma. So, acromioclavicular racy joint injuries or fractures of the proximal humerus affecting the shoulder joint as well. In the elbow, then the most common conditions treated here again, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, lateral or meteor epicondylitis, also treat arthritis of the elbow itself, including using arthroscopic surgery for removing loose bodies and also fractures around the elbow and then going into the hand we treat common conditions such as ganglions, trigger fingers, carpal tunnel and also wrist and hand injuries including fractures. So quite a wide range of problems affecting all three areas.
