Welcome

Dr Nick Pourgiezis BMedSci, MBBS, FRACS  

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and Active Orthopaedics Adelaide  

My special interests are in Knee,  Hip and Shoulder Joint Replacement and Sports Injuries.   

I completed 18 months of post fellowship training working with experts in Sydney, Belgium and The United Kingdom in addition to visitation to centres of excellence in other parts of Europe and The United States.  

I have established a private practice in Melbourne street, North Adelaide with additional consulting at Western Hospital, Henley Beach.  As well as my private practice I am a Visiting Orthopaedic Specialist at the Leyll McEwin and Queen Elizabeth Hospitals.  

While still performing total knee replacements with conventional techniques I am one of a selected number of Orthopaedic Surgeons offering knee replacements using Patient Specific Instrumentation.  I believe this surgery helps our patients to have a shorter hospital stay and return to their chosen lifestyle sooner.  It also likely improves alignment of the implant which may translate to a longer lasting knee replacement.  I am actively involved in teaching other surgeons in the use of this technology.    

I would be pleased to assess and manage your patients should you refer them for treatment.   Please do not hesitate to contact myself or my Personal Assistant, Tracey, at any time if you require any further information or appointments.
