First shoulder replacement marks new chapter for Island healthcare

Patients on the Isle of Man will no longer have to travel off-Island for some shoulder operations, following the first total shoulder replacement at Noble's.

Manx Care says the procedure marks the launch of a new service bringing more orthopaedic treatments to the Island.

The aim is to make more specialist care available locally, allowing patients to be treated and recover closer to home.

The operation can help people with arthritis by easing pain and restoring movement when other treatments are no longer effective.
