The research focuses primarily on clinical areas including upper limb surgery, peripheral nerve procedures, and musculoskeletal tumor operations. There's significant intersection between fundamental scientific research and clinical applications. In basic science, investigations cover mesothelial cell behavior in various contexts (tumors, tendon degeneration) and EMG analyses of common upper limb disorders like tennis elbow and rotator cuff issues. The clinical research aims to uncover the physiological mechanisms behind frequently seen conditions and create innovative treatment approaches.

Professor Simon Frostick has pioneered several novel surgical techniques for reconstructing severe upper limb conditions and introduced new methods to the UK, such as shoulder arthroscopy. His clinical studies aim to enhance therapeutic approaches and progress upper limb surgery, peripheral nerve procedures, and musculoskeletal tumor operations. He has created multiple innovative surgical techniques, including reconstructions for major upper limb disorders and the introduction of other advanced methods to the UK medical community.
