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.

Explanation

I saw Mr Colaco in August 2023 for my fourth shoulder surgery after multiple unsuccessful operations (with other surgeons). My shoulder now feels strong and stable and I’m back to playing sports like I did years ago. Mr Colaco was professional, knowledgeable, efficient and direct. Overall, very impressed and thoroughly recommend for those with a busy life but want to get back to full fitness promptly. I’ll certainly be going back to Mr Colaco if my other shoulder has any issues!

Explanation

I could not be happier or more impressed. Mr Colaço is simply excellent and his 'bedside manner' is extremely reassuring. I do think that administrative support at The Shoulder Practice is a bit clunky at times, which might need attention, but the care I received was world class. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.

Mr Colaco dealt with my frozen shoulder and broken ulna and I would highly recommend him to anyone. I underwent an arthroscopic capsular release surgery for my frozen shoulder and now I have regained almost full movement. Mr Colaco is an expert in his field.
