Professional statement

Mr. Pollalis is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of hip and knee disorders. He holds a consultant position at Wycombe General and Stoke Mandeville Hospitals, part of Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust, and operates a private practice at the Chiltern and Shelburne Hospitals in Buckinghamshire, as well as the Princess Margaret Hospital in Berkshire.

Renowned for his patient-focused care, Mr. Pollalis combines the latest surgical and non-surgical techniques to deliver personalised treatment plans. His approach is rooted in evidence-based medicine, aiming to restore patients' mobility and enhance their quality of life. With a reputation for excellence and an empathetic bedside manner, he strives to provide exceptional outcomes tailored to individual needs.

Mr. Pollalis has a particular interest in hip and knee replacement surgeries, including both primary and revision procedures. He is especially skilled in minimally invasive partial knee replacement surgery and arthroscopic knee procedures. A pioneer in rapid recovery and day-case joint replacement, he leads the Day Case Joint Replacement Program at Buckinghamshire NHS Trust.

His leadership in developing and delivering the award-winning Rapid Recovery Joint Replacement Pathway (WARP) has enabled many patients to return home the same day as their surgery. This pathway integrates cutting-edge techniques in preoperative preparation, intraoperative muscle-sparing methods, multimodal postoperative pain management, and early mobilisation strategies.

After earning his medical degree from Athens Medical School in 2002, Mr. Pollalis completed his trauma and orthopaedic training in Athens and Oxford, gaining comprehensive experience in both elective and emergency orthopaedics. He further honed his expertise through advanced fellowships at prestigious institutions. His fellowship at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford allowed him to work with the designer group of the Oxford Partial Knee Replacement, acquiring unparalleled expertise.

He also completed high-volume fellowships at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, known for its excellence in joint replacement, and the Royal Berkshire Hospital, where he gained additional experience in managing complex joint and bone conditions, including metastatic bone disease. A dedicated researcher, Mr. Pollalis has published and presented extensively on hip and knee disorders and enhanced recovery after surgery, contributing significantly to advancements in orthopaedic care.

  • Mr Pollalis recently performed a total hip replacement on my right hip. It has been a total success due to his undoubted skills and after care. He explained the procedure and made me feel confident in his abilities from the start and this was fully justified in the result.
