Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Mr Henry Colaço specialises in sports and reconstructive shoulder and elbow surgery, as well as complex upper limb trauma (including hand and wrist). He has experience in treating high-profile actors, directors, musicians, and professional athletes from international rugby players to UFC fighters.
He takes a patient-centred approach to care, tailoring his treatments (both surgical and non-surgical) to each individual. Where surgery is required, he uses cutting-edge procedures and uses minimally invasive techniques wherever possible to obtain the best outcomes and a faster recovery time. Mr Colaço has a particular interest in reconstructive arthroscopic (keyhole) surgical procedures for the treatment of bone loss in shoulder instability, irrepairable rotator cuff tears, and biceps tendon injuries.
Mr Colaço completed his surgical and orthopaedic training in London after graduating with distinction from Imperial College School of Medicine. He completed two fellowships in shoulder and elbow surgery and complex upper limb surgery and was awarded the renowned BESS Travelling Fellowship, which he completed in Paris and Lyon. He is the Clinical Lead for Upper Limb Surgery at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Surgical Lead for sustainability. He is a founding member of The Shoulder Practice and The London Shoulder Meeting. He is widely published, teaches at national and international conferences and is actively involved in clinical research and the use of simulation to train junior surgeons.

I can thoroughly recommend Mr Colaco he explained everything in detail and was very reassuring and kind. I never felt rushed. Mr Colaco arranged my surgery quickly and his aftercare was excellent
5
I was treated by Mr Colaco for a ruptured distal bicep tendon. Throughout my treatment from initial consultation through to post operative review Mr Colaco was superb. He explained the procedure in detail, including post operative recovery, and as far as I can tell the procedure was very successful. He also ensured that the operation was done in a short timeframe, and was flexible in accommodating this. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Mr Colaco.
5
Clearly an expert. He looked after me well following a shoulder dislocation. Was seen quickly, everything was checked throughly and luckily no surgery was needed
4
It would have been useful if he could have had access to my mri during the follow up consultation and to hear a comparison to the one several years earlier
5
Great doctor, very knowledgeable and thorough and felt looked after
5
I had a wonderful experience, Mr Henry Colaco was very professional and I left feeling reassured and informed about my options. He made sure that we checked for any underlying causes to make the best possible decision regarding treatment.
5
The experience was very smooth and professional.
5
Very diligent, intelligent, and highly capable shoulder specialist, who helped me fully recovery from serious shoulder injuries and got me back to playing full-contact ice hockey at age 46!
5
Mr Colaco listed to where I wanted the outcome to be, meaning I didn’t want to just have a fix that could accommodate a sedative lifestyle. I am very active and fitness is very important to me not just from a physical standpoint, but mentally too. So with that in mind, he looked at what the best option was to give the best possible outcome.
5
Helpful, reassuring, very knowledgeable, explained my op clearly.
