Mr Tzatzairis obtained his Medical degree in Democritus University of Thrace in 2010. After that, he was trained in Trauma and Orthopaedics in University Hospital of Alexandroupolis. In March of 2018 he was awarded with the MSc Certificate after supporting his thesis (graded 10/10). He is a PhD candidate, as he has already completed all of his coursework and currently is working on his thesis/dissertation. After completing his training, he was appointed as Paediatric Orthopaedic Fellow at Royal London Hospital 1 year ago where he’s working at this moment.

His main area of work was adults’ hip/knee reconstruction but he’s currently evolving his career with special interest in children’s Trauma and Orthopaedics (DDH/CTEV/Paediatric Trauma). He is an expert reviewer in several reputed journals and has numerous research publications.
