Conditions
A clear path from pain to movement
Understanding the cause of your shoulder or elbow pain is the first step toward recovery. Dr Handford diagnoses the full spectrum of upper limb conditions and builds a treatment plan around your life, not just your injury.
Shoulder
Restoring the complex mechanics of the shoulder
From arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to total and reverse shoulder replacement, the goal is a stable, pain-free joint and a full return to daily life.
Elbow
Careful surgery for a demanding joint
The elbow requires precision. Dr Handford treats fractures, stiffness, instability and tendon injuries with the meticulous care this joint demands.
Trauma
Acute fracture and injury care
Dr Handford manages acute orthopaedic trauma at Royal North Shore Hospital, a Level 1 trauma centre. He brings that same methodical skill to his private practice, guiding patients from the emergency department through to rehabilitation.
