Following completion of basic and higher Orthopaedic surgical training at G Papanicolaou University Hospital, he was awarded the Certificate of Completion of Specialist Training in Orthopaedic Surgery in June 1994. In England he successfully completed the SpR training in the South West Thames (St George’s Hospital), Orthopaedic training programme and passed the FRCS(Trauma and Ortho) exam.
