Professional profile
Mr Jähnich is a Specialist in shoulder and elbow surgery. He went to medical school in Greifswald, Germany, from 1985 until 1990. He graduated in 1991 having worked in a training post in sports medicine. At that point, he moved to England in order to improve his language skills. Initially for sporting reasons and later on for family reasons he stayed in the United Kingdom and underwent a full training in surgery in general followed by a specialist orthopaedic training. This included advanced training posts in shoulder and elbow surgery and a hand fellowship.
Since 2004, Mr Jähnich earned his title as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in the management of upper limb problems. Furthermore, he teaches on national and international specialist arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery courses. He was Regional Clinical Coordinator for the National Joint Registry for over ten years, and over the last 20 years of his practice as a consultant, he has developed and broadened his surgical techniques in modern shoulder surgery.
To aid this he has visited world renowned Orthopaedic Surgeons such as Professor Ralph Hertel in Berne, Switzerland and Alex Castagne in Milan, Italy. He enjoys good relationships with surgeons around the world and is also part of a regional group of shoulder and elbow surgeons for the purpose of further professional development and to discuss challenging cases in a forum of likeminded individuals. He is a member of the Watanabe Club, a group of shoulder surgeons providing specialist training in arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) to the next generation of shoulder surgeons.
