• Member of the Hellenic Orthopaedic Association
• Member of the Hellenic Foot and Ankle Society
• Member of the European Foot and Ankle Society (EFAS)

Over the past five years, my academic research has focused exclusively on foot and ankle disorders, including high-level randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and multicenter population studies. Topics include:

• Population-based studies of the forefoot anatomy in the Greek population
• Evaluation of surgical approaches for deformities (flatfoot / cavus foot)
• Prognostic factors for flatfoot
• Reliability of arthroscopic vs. open techniques
• Efficacy of percutaneous techniques in forefoot surgery
• Management of lower limb infections with local antibiotic carriers
• Treatment of bone defects
