As a former professional athlete (a goalkeeper in football teams such as Apollon Smyrnis F.C. Acharnaikos F.C. and Ilisiakos F.C.), orthopedic surgeon Konstantinos Intzoglou, has a first-hand experience in the importance of promptly and appropriately treating patients with high functional demands in order to ensure their quality of life. At the Attica General Hospital KAT, Konstantinos Intzoglou was specialized in medical emergencies.

Particularly in cases of knee and hip osteoarthritis and especially in elderly patients, modern minimally invasive surgical techniques are recommended.
