Ms. Ruth Delaney

MB BCH BAO, MMEDSC, FFSEM, FRCS(TR&ORTH)

CONSULTANT ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON - SHOULDER SPECIALIST

 

Ms. Ruth Delaney is a consultant orthopaedic surgeon and shoulder specialist. Ms. Delaney specializes in the full range of shoulder surgery, including open and arthroscopic procedures.

 

Her subspecialist areas of interest include shoulder instability and shoulder replacement surgery. She also maintains an active academic role, teaching visiting fellows and medical students on elective rotations, as well as teaching shoulder courses internationally, and is a reviewer for the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery.  

 

After spending her initial postgraduate years in Cork, Ms. Delaney joined the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, where she underwent a comprehensive training in all aspects of orthopaedic surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and the other Harvard-affiliated hospitals.


During her time in Boston, Ms. Delaney had the opportunity to complement her Masters degree in sports and exercise medicine with direct experience of professional sports teams such as the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox. She maintains her interest in care of athletes and sports injuries as a Fellow of the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine in Ireland and takes care of many elite athletes, including professional athletes and Olympians.

 

Following general orthopaedic training, Ms. Delaney completed her specialist shoulder training at the Harvard Shoulder Fellowship in Boston as well as in France, under the guidance of Drs. JP Warner, Gilles Walch and Laurent Lafosse. This international training afforded her opportunities to work with world-class surgeons at the top of their field in areas such as shoulder replacement, instability surgery and complex arthroscopic surgery.

 

Ms. Delaney is a widely published researcher, and in 2014 won the premier research award in shoulder surgery, the Neer Award, for work on shoulder instability surgery.

 

In 2015, Ms. Delaney was invited to become a reviewer for the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, the leading journal worldwide for specialist shoulder surgery. In October 2016, she was admitted as a member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, the foremost shoulder surgery organisation in the world.  

 

Ms. Delaney became an Assistant Clinical Professor at University College Dublin in 2017 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2020.

 

In 2018, Ms. Delaney founded the Dublin Shoulder Institute.

 

In 2020, Ms. Delaney was appointed an Associate Editor for the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery - Seminars in Arthroplasty.  In January 2021, she was invited to serve on the International Advisory Board of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. In September 2021, she was given the prestigious appointment of Deputy Editor for Shoulder and Elbow Research at the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS).

 

She is regularly invited to teach and lecture at shoulder courses and conferences all over the world and has been the invited guest speaker for a number of shoulder and elbow societies internationally, including the Argentinian, Australian, Dutch and Swedish societies.

 

Having represented Munster in four different sports and played tennis at international level, as well as completing marathons and triathlons, Ruth has a personal understanding of athletes and people who wish to stay active at all levels, and she brings this perspective to her treatment of patients with shoulder problems.

 

Procedures that Ms. Delaney commonly performs include:

• Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery
• Rotator cuff repair
• Shoulder stabilization/labral repair (Bankart procedure)
• Coracoid transfer procedure (Latarjet procedure)
• Shoulder replacement surgery
• Reverse shoulder replacement surgery

Dublin Shoulder Institute

The concept of bringing together the expertise needed to provide top class shoulder care is central to Dublin Shoulder Institute.  From our excellent administrative staff to our consultant surgeon, all staff members are focused on providing the patient with the very best experience.

 

The nurse specialist is a key member of our team who helps with all aspects of patient care and communication.  Our team has expanded to include a shoulder fellow (a fully trained orthopaedic surgeon who has chosen to spend a year working with Ms. Delaney for sub-specialist training in shoulder surgery) and an academic administrative assistant who coordinates our research efforts and our presence on the international stage, ensuring that we bring the best of world class shoulder care to Ireland.  

 

Our physiotherapist helps ensure that patients are optimally guided through rehabilitation, pre-operative preparation and post-operative recovery, as well as communicating with outside physiotherapists involved in the care of our patients.

 

DSI has had the privilege of hosting visiting surgeons from all over the world, having been chosen as a host site for the SECEC European Traveling Fellowship and the American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeons Traveling Fellowship.  Our visiting surgeons come to learn from us, but invariably we also learn from them and gain invaluable insights through discussions with our international colleagues, ensuring that DSI remains at the forefront of world class shoulder care.

Our Team

 

 

Teamwork is at the heart of what we do.  We strongly believe that the best patient outcomes are achieved when a dedicated team of skilled professionals come together to provide care.  We are lucky to have a fantastic team here at DSI to take care of our patients.  Communication is key. Our team will regularly be in contact with your own local caregivers throughout your shoulder journey - your GP, your physiotherapist and anyone else you wish to keep informed.

Research

Asking questions and seeking answers is a fundamental part of advancing the quality of what we do. Research is therefore an important aspect of our shoulder practice. In addition, recording and reporting patient outcomes is the only honest way to show value in what we do.

 

All patients who undergo surgery are offered the opportunity to enrol in OBERD which allows each patient to report scores that reflect their pain and function before surgery and at various points after surgery during their rehabilitation.  This allows us to keep a close eye on each patient's progress, and also to compare an individual patient's progress to our practice average and to global averages.  We therefore know that our standards are on a par with international standards, and we are able to pick up any potential problems early and put in place solutions.

 

 

 

 

We are fortunate to have international relationships that allow for rewarding collaborations in research, which ultimately lead to better care for our patients.  We have recently set up a collaborative effort with Queensland Unit for Advanced Shoulder Research (QUASR) in Brisbane, Australia.

 

Ms. Delaney has published widely in the peer-reviewed literature on shoulder conditions and shoulder surgery, as well as currently working on design teams on projects for new shoulder replacement implants and sports medicine projects particularly in the area of shoulder instability.  

 

We have ongoing studies in the area of shoulder instability, in particular around return to play of collision athletes after shoulder stabilisation surgery.  This work is done in collaboration with the Sports Surgery Clinic physiotherapy department and its Return to Play programme

 

 

Ms. Delaney has published multiple peer-reviewed articles, reviews and book chapters, and has given presentations at a number of international conferences. In 2014, she won the premier research award in shoulder surgery, the Charles S. Neer Award, for work on shoulder instability surgery.
