Darren McCusker
Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon
I am a consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon trained in the management of general trauma with specialist training in the management of conditions affecting the shoulder and elbow. I also supervise and train resident doctors and medical students.
I attended Queen’s University Medical School, graduating in 2011 and subsequently completed my specialist surgical training and examinations in Northern Ireland. I then completed the Liverpool Upper Limb Fellowship under Professor Peter Brownson, amongst other renowned experts.
I currently work in the Western Health and Social Care Trust, based primarily at Altnagelvin Area Hospital.
As a trauma surgeon, I routinely manage trauma affecting the upper and lower limbs.
I have further specialist training in the management of complex upper limb trauma and in managing orthopaedic problems in the upper limb – primarily in the shoulder and elbow but also in the hand and wrist.
My treatment areas include but are not limited to:
- Shoulder arthritis
- Subacromial pain
- Shoulder instability (including complex instability)
- Rotator cuff injury
- ACJ pain
- Biceps pathology
- Elbow instability
- Elbow arthritis
- Carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome
- Trigger fingers
- General Trauma
