Elbow (Outerbridge and Kashiwagi) Procedure I would highly recommend Mr Simon Owen-Johnstone for this particular procedure as I know he went ‘the extra mile’ with ensuring that the best outcome was achieved. He listened to my concerns and holistically took on board my other conditions along with explaining in detail what will be done surgically and also what to expect afterwards. I feel lucky that after six weeks I am in a place where I can now have very good elbow range and movement to my face/mouth. A highly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon with a lovely and easy-going manner.
