I saw Mr Polyzois initially for shoulder pain and restricted movement, and after X-ray and MRI, had ultrasound-guided injections as a first procedure followed by physio, Unfortunately this wasn't successful so Mr Polyzois recommended an arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression. During the procedure he also identified scar tissue in the capsule causing a frozen shoulder so addressed this. He'd previously warned me of a 12 week recovery period and has kept a good eye on me since the operation, making sure the physics didn't have me doing inappropriate strengthens exercises too early. At 6 weeks since the operation, I have massively improved range of movement and things are looking good for a total recovery. I have total faith in his judgement and quality of care and would recommend his services.

I broke my right clavicle. I was referred to Mr Polyzois who immediately diagnosed a ‘non-union’ and recommended an operation which was a Open reduction internal fixation to complex mid shaft non union of right clavicle fracture. The operation went well and the plate fitted with 6 screws is working well. I have also developed a ‘frozen shoulder’, which is common after a trauma to the clavicle. Mr Polyzois recommended that I see a colleague for a ultrasound guided hydrodilatation which certainly helped. I am now undergoing physio to improve further the movement of my shoulder. I was due to have another procedure called a arthroscopic capsular release, however, due to the success of my physio exercises the day before my operation, Mr Polyzois was happy to cancel it. This was amazing news and demonstrates the importance of the patients health that Mr Polyzois considers before finalising a decision whether to go ahead or not with a procedure. We discussed the short term and long term pros and cons of going ahead and came to the decision together not to. Mr Polyzois has been professional, caring and personable at each and every appointment. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

I had a horrible distal radius fracture (broken in 5 places) whist on holiday in Thailand. On my return Mr Polyzois did a fantastic job of reassuring me, mending me and setting me back on way to my pre accident life. I saw him post surgery at 2, 4, 6 and 12 weeks. This frequency was very helpful. No question was too trivial.

I suffered a Monteggia Bado type 2 fracture to the Ulna as well as a dislocated Radius whilst on holiday in the USA. Mr Polyzois said the injury is very uncommon in adults and a bad one at that. Trust me to do things properly!
The radius was relocated in the USA and the Ulna expertly repaired by Mr Polyzois. My recovery is going well but still a way to go. His aftercare has been exemplary and I would certainly recommend him.
