About Mr Sakis Pollalis
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.

I have been so delighted with my hip replacement. I have not experienced any pain or sickness following the operation. The surgery went really well - I have total feeling in my feet and can move with a completely normal gait. The operation scar is very neat and has healed very well. I have been very well supported throughout my recovery - the team have been responsive and helpful.
It felt great to shake Mr Pollalis’ hand at my 6-week check up following my hip replacement operation. After 18 months of pain & limping I can now stride out for a walk, totally pain-free, which feels fantastic. I’m so grateful to Mr Pollalis, his team & the NHS - I can’t wait to get my life back on track!
Excellent service Mr Pollalis has been absolutely brilliant from start to finish I cannot fault him or his team thank you
From my first meeting with Mr Pollalis I had confidence that this was the consultant that I wanted to operate on my knee for a unilateral knee replacement.
Mr Pollalis reviewed my hip replacement at the 6 week stage. He was pleased with progress and took time to explain the procedure and show me the x ray images of the hips. It was a pleasure to meet him again and his friendly,, professional manner was a delight.
Mr Pollalis was very complimentary on the state of my recovery and checked both for any residual infection and the knee mobility. He also provided some good advice on the approach for my other knee. I would be very happy to recommend him to others requiring similar surgery.
I received outstanding care under Mr Pollalis and his team at the Chiltern Hospital . Mr Pollalis explained the procedure and recovery clearly and concisely and I felt confident I was in good hands.
My experience with Mr Pollalis has been fantastic, he has been very informative from start to finish and he is a very professional, personable and down to earth person. My total knee replacement is at 5 weeks post op I am walking without any aids and less to almost no pain compared to pre op. I would highly recommend Mr Pollalis to anyone and I will be getting my other knee done in the future with him. John H
From original meeting with Mr Pollallis where everything was explained right through to discharge it was a pleasant experience. There were no surprises and I was further assured on discharge if I had any queries thereafter not to hesitate to get in touch.
Mr Sakis Pollalis answered all my questions honestly with professionalism and empathy. I am very happy with my new hip, treatment whilst in hospital and recovery care. I would highly recommend him.
