About

Mr Sakis Pollalis is a triple fellowship trained Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in all aspects of hip and knee disorders. He serves as a consultant at Wycombe General and Stoke Mandeville Hospitals, part of the Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust, and maintains a private practice at the Chiltern and Shelburne Hospitals in Buckinghamshire.

His expertise includes primary and revision hip and knee replacement surgeries, with a particular interest in minimally invasive partial knee replacement surgery. He is also proficient in arthroscopic (keyhole) knee surgery.

Mr. Pollalis is recognised for his rapid recovery and day-case hip and knee replacement expertise. He has led the development and delivery of the rapid recovery joint replacement pathway at Buckinghamshire NHS Trust. Over the past two years, more than 50 of his patients have been discharged on the same day following hip or knee replacement surgery. This pathway incorporates the latest research on preoperative preparation, intraoperative muscle-sparing techniques, postoperative multimodal pain relief, and early mobilisation.

Graduating from Athens Medical School in 2002, Mr Pollalis completed his specialist trauma and orthopaedic training in Athens and Oxford. During his training, he gained extensive experience in the full spectrum of elective and emergency orthopaedic conditions.

He pursued extensive specialist fellowship training in joint replacement, working with some of the UK's leading surgeons in hip and knee surgery. At Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, he expanded his experience in primary and revision hip and knee surgery, particularly with the designer group of the Oxford Partial Knee Replacement. He completed a second high-volume specialist fellowship at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and a third fellowship at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, focusing on complex joint and bone problems, including metastatic bone disease surgery.

Mr Pollalis has a robust research background, with numerous publications and presentations on hip and knee problems and enhanced recovery after surgery, both in the UK and internationally.

Mr Pollalis is also the Educational Lead for Trauma and Orthopaedics at Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and regularly participates in the ARCP panel, assessing the annual progression of orthopaedic trainees in the Oxford Deanery.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
