Specialized Treatment
AdvancedArthroscopicSurgery:Knee,Shoulder&Ankle
Arthroscopy is a transformative surgical technique that allows us to diagnose and treat joint problems through tiny incisions. Using a high-definition camera and specialized micro-instruments, we perform complex repairs with extreme precision, minimal pain, and significantly faster recovery than traditional open surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy
RestoringStabilityandMotion
The knee is the most commonly arthroscoped joint. This procedure is ideal for patients and athletes who need to return to their activities quickly.
Meniscal Injuries: Repair or partial meniscectomy for torn cartilage.
Ligament Reconstruction: Advanced techniques for ACL and PCL reconstruction.
Cartilage Regeneration: Microfractures or chondrocyte implantation to treat articular surface wear.
Patellar Issues: Realignment and stabilization of the kneecap.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
PrecisioninaComplexJoint
The shoulder’s wide range of motion makes it prone to instability and wear. Arthroscopy allows us to work within the tight spaces of the joint without damaging the overlying muscles.
Rotator Cuff Repair: Fixing torn tendons that cause pain and weakness.
Shoulder Instability (Bankart Repair): Re-attaching the labrum after dislocations to stabilize the joint.
Subacromial Decompression: Treating shoulder impingement syndrome by removing inflamed tissue or bone spurs.
Frozen Shoulder: Surgical release to restore lost range of motion in adhesive capsulitis.
Ankle Arthroscopy
TargetedReliefforFoot&Ankle
Small-joint arthroscopy is a specialized field that addresses chronic pain and mechanical issues in the ankle that often go untreated.
Ankle Impingement: Removing bone spurs or soft tissue that pinch the joint during movement — common in athletes and dancers.
Osteochondral Lesions (OCD): Repairing damaged bone and cartilage on the talus.
Synovectomy: Removing inflamed synovial tissue caused by rheumatoid arthritis or trauma.
Loose Bodies: Extracting fragments of bone or cartilage that cause the joint to lock.
Why Choose Arthroscopy
BuiltfortheInternationalPatient
Day-Case Surgery
Most procedures are performed as in-and-out cases — you return to your accommodation the same day.
Minimal Scarring
Incisions are typically the size of a buttonhole (approx. 5–7 mm), leaving almost no visible scars.
Less Post-Op Pain
Reduced tissue trauma means a lower need for painkillers and a more comfortable recovery.
Accelerated Rehab
Physical therapy can begin immediately — crucial for maximizing your time in Greece.
