Mr SIMON LAMBERT
Simon Lambert was recently appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the University College Hospital in central London to undertake complex and revision reconstruction of difficult conditions of the shoulder and elbow. His particular interests are in the reconstruction of post-traumatic deformity, neuromuscular disorders of the shoulder and elbow, soft tissue reconstruction for rotator cuff disease and instability of the shoulder and elbow, and complex and revision joint replacement and rehabilitation in the shoulder and elbow. He is helping to develop the shoulder and elbow service at UCLH into the leading tertiary referral centre in London and the South East for the treatment of infection and revision joint replacement in the shoulder and elbow.
Simon is an Honorary Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon to The States of Jersey, and holds several visiting honorary consultant positions in hospitals around the UK, helping colleagues with difficult surgical cases. He am a Corresponding Member of the German Trauma and Orthopaedic Society, International member of the Innsbruck Shoulder Society, and Gold member of AOTrauma.
During his training he was invited to two AO Fellowships in Switzerland working under Professors Gerber and Hertel, both shoulder surgeons of international reputation. He was appointed as Consultant to the University Hospital of Southampton in 1996, developed the busy orthopaedic trauma service at that hospital, and was awarded the prestigious North American Travelling Fellowship of the European Society for Surgery of the Shoulder and Elbow (ESSSE) in 1998. He was then appointed to the staff of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in 2001, working with Mr Ian Bayley, and developed the service into a nationally-regarded centre for specialist shoulder rehabilitation.
Simon has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers, editorials and reviews, and 15 book chapters, including a revision of the chapters on the shoulder girdle and shoulder joint in Gray’s Anatomy, on a wide range of topics related to the shoulder and elbow. He is completing an MD thesis in UCL on fixed-fulcrum total shoulder arthroplasty. His major research interests are on the anatomy of shoulder pain, the anatomy and biomechanics of the shoulder girdle, joint replacement of the shoulder and elbow, including novel prosthetic designs for the elbow in conjunction with colleagues at the Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Medicine at UCL, and the functional outcome of shoulder fractures. He review papers for several major orthopaedic journals including the JBJSAm, BJJ, JSES, and Shoulder and Elbow, being on the editorial board of the last. He has also been invited to participate on a new International editorial board of a major German orthopaedic and traumatology surgical techniques journal, and to the second International Consensus meeting on periprosthetic joint infection in Philadelphia.
Simon is Chairman of the Upper Extremity Expert Group of the AO Technical Commission in Switzerland, has convened and chaired Masters' level cadaver-based surgical anatomy courses which he developed for the AO, and has helped in the design of several trauma implants currently in global use. He has participated in the recent redesign of the revision total shoulder replacement NJR data sets, and has been active in the British Elbow and Shoulder Society, as Treasurer, Secretary, Ordinary Council member, and Education Committee member. He is active in ESSSE/SECEC having served on the Website and Rehabilitation committees, and is a founding surgical member of the European Shoulder and Elbow Rehabilitation Society. He enjoys teaching others at all levels of experience about the shoulder and elbow, and give lectures internationally, but values greatly the interaction with colleagues more locally.
