Srinath Kamineni, MD, BSc(Hons), FRCS-Ortho, a Shoulder, Elbow, Upper Extremity specialist, earned his medical degree from the University of Wales College of Medicine, Great Britain. He completed an anatomy demonstratorship at Oxford University, pre-residency surgical training in Cambridge, and an orthopaedic residency at the University College London and Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (Stanmore) in London, England. He also completed a shoulder fellowship at the University Hospital Balgrist in Switzerland and an elbow fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. He was an attending surgeon-scientist at the Imperial College London and Professor of Biomechanics at the Brunel University, London, before coming to the University of Kentucky.

Dr. Kamineni’s goals are treating musculoskeletal injuries and diseases to restore an active lifestyle. He has a significant background and training in advanced biomechanics for treatment of shoulder and elbow joint (A) Motion disorders [stiffness / instability / dyskinesias], (B) Arthritis [rheumatoid arthritis / osteoarthritis / post-traumatic arthritis / connective tissue disease associated arthritis], and (C) Failed previous surgeries [failed rotator cuff repairs / failed shoulder and elbow instability surgeries / failed fracture fixations of the shoulder and elbow / failed shoulder and elbow joint replacements]. Dr. Kamineni has conducted extensive research on the influence of collagen on disease processes such as joint stiffness, tennis elbow, and arthritis.

    Building a Shoulder from Scratch

    A dull ache was the beginning of a fifteen-year saga for Leonard Preston. Then a 23-year-old Air Force member, Leonard was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, a form of bone cancer that starts out in the cartilage. By the time they caught it, Leonard’s cancer had eaten through more than half of his humerus.
