Mr Andrew Martyn Ker

I am an Orthopaedic Consultant with a specialist interest in
upper limb surgery currently working within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Having graduated from Edinburgh Medical School with a BSc in Sports Medicine in
2006 and medical degree in 2008, I completed my foundation medical training in
NHS Lothian before being appointed to the West of Scotland Trauma and
Orthopaedics training programme in 2011. Throughout my training I gained an
interest in upper limb and sports injuries, tailoring my training towards these
pathologies. Furthermore, I was team doctor for Kilmarnock Football Club from
2014-2016. 

On completion of my training I undertook fellowships in
Shoulder Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty surgery at the prestigious Universitatsklinik
Balgrist in Zurich, Switzerland under the mentorship of World renowned
Professor Christian Gerber; and in the Australian Orthopaedic Association Shoulder
Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty surgery under the mentorship or Assoc Professor
Kenneth Cutbush and Assoc Professor Ashish Gupta in Brisbane, Australia. 

I was appointed a Consultant in Clyde in 2021 and have a
specialist interest in Shoulder, Elbow and upper limb surgery. Currently, I am
Trauma Lead for Clyde Orthopaedics and am a member of the British Elbow and
Shoulder Society. Throughout my training I have had an interest in research and
am an author on over 25 peer reviewed Orthopaedics publications; and have
presented at a number of International conferences. 

My main areas of interest and expertise are in managing
shoulder and elbow conditions, with a particular interest in shoulder
arthroscopy and arthroplasty. Furthermore, I manage other hand and wrist
conditions.
