Mr Keith Borowsky

Mr Keith Borowsky is a Consultant Upper Limb Surgeon and has beena a consultant for 29 years, and has practised orthopaedics for 37 years, having worked in both academic institutions and in private practice. He offers expertise for all shoulder and elbow arthroscopic and reconstructive procedures, as well as conservative non-surgical management with ultrasound guided injections and specialised physiotherapy. He has a broad experience in orthopaedics in both arthroscopic and open reconstructive surgery of both the shoulder and elbow, which he has regularly practiced both on the NHS and privately since 1991. He currently divides his time between clinical work and research.

Over 14 years as a substantive consultant at Medway Maritime Hospital, Mr Borowsky established a shoulder and elbow service for both arthroscopic and reconstructive procedures, and acted as Clinical Lead Clinician and Head of Clinical Governance for the department. He then took sabbatical leave to develop private research into developing a shoulder replacement for fractures.

In addition to clinical work, Mr Borowsky has also worked as an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, performing extensive mechanical studies on fractures of the shoulder, that have been the basis of acceptance of two articles in the International Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery. He also practices in the Medico-legal field, with a keen interest in both injury compensation and medical negligence. He is involved in design to develop a new shoulder replacement implant for fractures of the proximal humerus (shoulder). This is a challenging problem that particularly affects elderly women who tend to have osteoporotic bone. Treatment of these fractures is internationally recognised as an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. He is also researching into the problem of massive rotator cuff tears and possible prosthetic solutions for this.
