I always travel for work between the UK and Cyprus and I had been struggling with a long-standing shoulder issue that caused me constant pain and was stopping me from playing tennis and swimming as well as affecting me at work. It was quite frustrating to say the least in terms of the way I was being treated in the UK and it just seemed that I was never getting anywhere and was being always pushed away. On top of that, the waiting lists in the UK were way too long so I decided to try getting treated in Cyprus instead.
I had had great feedback about this shoulder surgeon from more than one person and had found his credentials to be quite impressive after doing a bit of research especially with his extensive international training and the fact that he specialised in managing complex shoulder conditions.
So I decided to give him a try. Despite his busy schedule, I was pleasantly surprised to be able to see him within a few days and to have had an MRI scan scheduled within a week.
A few days after the MRI, he diagnosed me with a SLAP injury.
And basically, 10 days after my first consultation I was able to have the surgery! This was even after he accommodated for my busy work and travel commitments!
His manner was impeccable and he did his best to accommodate my needs given my passion for sports. I ended up having a sub-pectoralis LHB tenodesis, on his recommendation, which he explained offered stronger stability and better clinical outcomes for active individuals (if that is of any interest to anyone).
So far the surgery seems to be a great success. It just took a couple of days before I could move my arm with very little pain. I was back at the gym and started to play tennis 3 months after the operation.
I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing shoulder issues. His professionalism, expertise, and patient-centred approach are truly outstanding. Thank you.

I am incredibly grateful to have undergone successful surgery for my recurrent shoulder instability, which had significantly impacted my quality of life and participation in sports for many years. After extensive research to find a highly qualified and specialized shoulder surgeon in Cyprus, I was fortunate to discover Dr. Konstantinos Fountzoulas.
His impressive international training at prestigious centers across Europe and his expertise in the full spectrum of shoulder instability surgeries gave me confidence that I was in excellent hands. I specifically chose him because he is the only surgeon in Cyprus performing the innovative Dynamic Anterior Stabilization (DAS) procedure, which is only available at a few specialized centers in Europe.
From our first consultation, Dr. Konstantinos Fountzoulas put me at ease with his thorough explanations and genuine professionalism. He carefully explained why this procedure was the best option for my case, especially compared to the more traditional Latarjet procedure. His personalized approach and attention to detail reassured me that I was in expert hands.
Six months after my surgery, I am delighted to report that I have regained a full range of motion and have returned to playing sports I loved before my shoulder issues began—such as tennis and padel. This experience has truly transformed my life, and I am thankful to Dr. Konstantinos Fountzoulas for his exceptional care and expertise.
I highly recommend him to anyone seeking advanced shoulder treatment. Thank you for giving me back my active life!

When I broke my shoulder, Dr. Konstantinas Fountzoulas was out of the country. Nevertheless, he called me back within a few hours after reviewing my X-ray. He assured me that he could help fix my shoulder without surgery, even though other doctors had recommended immediate surgery.
I visited him every week for 6–7 weeks. During that time, he gradually introduced more exercises and was always very attentive to my condition. Later, he recommended that I start physical therapy and referred me to an excellent therapist.
Now my shoulder is fully back to normal, and I’m able to do everything I used to do with my arm.
His office is very clean and pleasant, and the staff are professional and friendly

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a joint injury to heal?
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.
What are common causes of shoulder pain?
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.
How do I know if my orthopaedic condition qualifies for GESY coverage?
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.
What lifestyle changes support better joint health?
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.
