About your surgeon

Dr. Constantinos Kritiotis

Dr. Constantinos Kritiotis is an orthopaedic hand surgeon specialising in reconstructive surgery of the hand, wrist and upper limb, including complex conditions associated with spinal cord injury and spasticity.

He graduated from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in 2005 and continued his specialist training at leading hand surgery centres in the United Kingdom, including Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. He subsequently worked in the National Health Service across Cornwall, Manchester and Sunderland, including lead hand surgery roles.

Dr. Kritiotis was the first Cypriot surgeon to obtain the European Diploma in Hand Surgery. He now practises at Iasis Hospital in Paphos and P&P Scandinavian Medical Center in Limassol.

His specialist work includes tendon and nerve transfers, tetraplegic hand reconstruction, surgical management of upper-limb spasticity, peripheral nerve surgery and complex wrist reconstruction, including the APTIS Scheker distal radioulnar joint prosthesis. He founded Tetrahand Cyprus to provide coordinated assessment, reconstruction and rehabilitation for people with impaired upper-limb function.

Every treatment plan is shaped around the patient’s functional goals, remaining muscle and nerve function, joint condition and rehabilitation needs. Clear communication, realistic goal-setting and close collaboration with therapists are central to his approach.
