I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Fountzoulas for the excellently performed surgery on my child and the subsequent recovery process. From the very first appointment, we felt care, attentive attitude, and outstanding professionalism. The doctor thoroughly explained every stage of the treatment, answered all our questions, and supported us during this challenging time.
Dr Konstantinos Fountzoulas has operated my son on his leg after a severe accident which caused fibula and tibia fracture.
Honestly he is such a good and polite person which encourages the patient for what is going to follow
Surgical operation took 4 hours it was a very difficult operation but everything went well.
It takes a long term after surgical rehabilitation with physiotherapy.
At least it was a successful surgery.
Thank you Dr.Fountzoula.
All the best!!!!!!

I just want to express my deepest thank Dr. Konstantinos for everything you have done. You have been so kind, supportive, and truly caring , not only before the surgery, but after it as well.

It’s clear that you truly care about your patients, and that your advice comes from the heart. You take the time to explain, to listen, and to reassure , and that’s very rare these days.

Unlike some doctors who focus only on money, you put the patient first — and that means a lot to me. I’m truly grateful for your honesty, dedication, and the humanity you show in every step.

Thank you again for being such a wonderful doctor and an amazing human being.
With sincere appreciation

Dr. Konstantinos is an excellent professional. From the very first consultation to the surgery and recovery, he made me feel safe and fully informed. My Latarjet surgery (shoulder) went perfectly, and his follow-up care has been outstanding. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs shoulder surgery. Thank you again, doctor!

For the long period, I have been suffering from the pain in my left shoulder. When I got tired of the pain, I applied to the doctor Konstantinos Fountzoulas. After an MRI, it was recommended to have an operation and stitching up the injured tendon in the shoulder. The operation took place in November 2024 and now after 6 months of recovery period I can confidently say that the result was positive. There is no pain anymore. The strength returned fully to my arm. During the rehabilitation process, I repeatedly visited the doctor and received his competent recommendations, which definitely helped me. I highly recommend Dr. Konstantinos Fountzoulas as a competent and responsive specialist, a professional in his field.

I am a 44 year old Cypriot male and I had a traumatic rapture of the Proximal Long Head of the Biceps Tendon. I must had that for more than 5 months cause around so long I had a "Popeye Deformity". Didn't pay attention at the beginning but I started to lose my strength on the right arm and my left arm became stronger. I started to worry cause I am a manual worker. After contacting my Personal Doctor, I met DR FOUNTZOULAS KONSTANTINOS 1 time and 2 weeks after visiting him cause I immediately really trusted him, we proceeded to surgery repair.
Its been now 6 weeks and I feel Like Before! (even though more weeks have to pass to be totally recovered, I feel perfect.) Have to be careful though as Doctor keeps telling me 🙂
What I am really Surprised : First time I met such a Kind, Straight, Honest and True Doctor. He explained every little detail before Operation (even the very low percentage possibilities) I really didn't have any questions before the surgery cause he explained clear everything.
I had many serious operations before, on Spine, Hand and Heel. DR KONSTANTINOS FOUNTZOULAS is really UNIQUE! Thanks so much Doctor! Wish had more Honest Professional Doctors Like you!

Dr. Konstantinos is an exceptional orthopedic surgeon. I broke my elbow while on vacation in Cyprus and was treated by him at the ER. He performed the surgery with great skill and professionalism. What impressed me most was that he continued to follow up with me for several months after I returned to my home country, checking on my recovery and offering guidance. Truly caring, dedicated, and highly recommended!

Excellent doctor! I was lucky to be introduced to Dr KONSTANTINOS FOUNTZOULAS at the emergency of the Polyclinic after I broke my right foot.He spent time to explain to me the different options I had and I followed his advice for operation. I don’t regret it for as per today my foot back to normal.
I snapped by left bicep tendon six months ago. I was told by my GP that I would probably never have complete mobility of my left arm again and would probably not be able to completely extend it ever again. My GP told me that it was imperative that I have the tendon reattached as soon as I possibly could for the best result possible. I paid Dr. Konstantinos Foutzoulas a visit two days after snapping the tendon and he pulled all stops to operate the following day. The operation was a huge success and I have full mobility of my arm and am able to extend it completely again. Full strength has returned to the arm again and I can confidentially say that it is 'back to normal'!

I cannot thank Dr. Foutzoulas enough for the quality of the surgery and his care and the interest he took in my tendon. Dr. Foutzoulas really went the extra mile and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Dr Konstantinos Fountzoulas is a rare find. I visited him regarding Rotator Cuff Syndrome of my upper arm
I found him to be extremely professional, honest and exceptionally thorough in his history taking and his examination
Dr Fountzoulas' prime concern and interest is in the wellbeing of his patients. He is very well qualified and has Fellowships from the Royal Colleges in the UK.
He also has Certificates and Qualifications in upper arm surgery. He also has a wealth of experience in practising his skills
Thank you very much for quickly healing my finger that was damaged in an accident. Dr. Konstanthino is very competent and kind person. His service is excellent. Thanks again and best wishes.

I recently had the privilege of being treated by Mr. Fountzoulas for recurrent shoulder instability. After thorough research, I chose him due to his prestigious training in the UK and France. From the initial video consultation to the actual treatment in Cyprus, the process was seamless, with only a week between consultation and surgery. The accommodation in a five-star hotel and private physiotherapy were exceptional. Mr. Fountzoulas' communication skills and expertise in shoulder arthroscopy were outstanding, allowing me to transition out of the sling within 4 to 6 weeks and return to sports in 3 to 4 months. This experience highlighted the effectiveness of medical tourism, and I highly recommend Mr. Fountzoulas for anyone considering orthopedic surgery.

My son 8 y.o. fell down on the playground in Limassol and broke his elbow. We were so lucky that Dr. Konstantinos was at Ygia clinic this night. He made a surgery next meeting. In 4 weeks time my son got completely recovered and even could do his acrobatics. Thanks a lot to the doctor!
I visited Dr. Konstantinos Fountzoulas with severe lower back pain. I showed him my MRI results, and he reviewed them and prescribed a treatment plan. By the third day, I was already feeling significantly better. Highly recommend!
Dr Fountzoulas operated on my broken elbow (olecranon) in December 2023. I couldn’t recommend a better specialist in orthopedic surgery. I got back to almost 100% functioning in less then 1,5 months.
Dr Fountzoulas has got a solid medical background and I feel extremely lucky to have been operated by him.

Dr Fountzoulas is an excellent surgeon who helped my 88 years old mother twice. He operated her hip successfully twice in 8 months, and she managed to walk from the very first days. He was always there for us answering all our questions. Me and my family are very thankful!!

Frequently Asked Questions

The healing time for a joint injury depends on the severity and type of injury, ranging from a few weeks to several months. Our orthopaedic Limassol services focus on accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment to support faster and more effective recovery.

With proper care, physiotherapy, and guidance from our experts, you can regain strength and mobility while minimising long-term damage.

Shoulder pain can result from various conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, arthritis, or impingement syndrome. It may also stem from overuse, poor posture, or sudden trauma.

In some cases, nerve-related issues or referred pain from the neck can also cause discomfort. Early evaluation is key to effective treatment. An experienced orthopaedic surgeon in Limassol can identify the exact cause and recommend appropriate care to relieve pain and restore shoulder function.

To determine if your orthopaedic condition qualifies for GESY coverage, start by consulting your registered General Practitioner. They will assess your symptoms and, if necessary, issue a referral to an orthopaedic specialist.

Orthopaedic services, including consultations, diagnostics, and treatments, are covered under GESY when necessary and provided by contracted healthcare providers.

If you’re seeking care from an orthopaedic doctor in Limassol, ensure they are registered with GESY, like we are.

To support better joint health,

  • Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and practicing proper posture are essential.
  • Low-impact exercises like swimming or walking help keep joints flexible without adding strain.
  • A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D also promotes bone strength.
  • Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol use further protects joint health.

If you experience persistent pain, GESY orthopaedic doctors in Limassol can assess your condition and recommend lifestyle changes or treatment options.
