Areas of Specialisation

Sports Knee Surgery

Dr Papagapiou works closely with athletes and active individuals who require specialised care for sports-related knee injuries. Because of his advanced fellowship training, he performs procedures such as ACL reconstructions, meniscus repairs, and ligament reconstructions with a high level of accuracy. Moreover, he prioritises functional recovery, allowing patients to return to sport with greater confidence.

Knee Reconstructive Procedures

In addition to treating sports injuries, Dr Papagapiou focuses on reconstructive knee surgery. Whether dealing with degenerative changes or post-trauma instability, he restores joint alignment and function through modern surgical techniques. Furthermore, he employs pre-operative assessments and advanced imaging to improve surgical precision and predictability.

Knee Replacement Surgery

When joint deterioration leads to persistent pain and loss of movement, knee replacement often becomes the most effective solution. Dr Papagapiou performs full and partial knee replacements using cutting-edge implants. During the recovery process, he works alongside physiotherapists to ensure smooth rehabilitation and long-term success.
