Dr. Granitsas deals with elective orthopaedics, mainly with hip and knee and he is approved by MEDACTA, the leading company on joint replacement, using the anterior minimal invasive approach for the hip replacement and the custom made knee, which has robotic accuracy.  Both techniques are considered as state of art and give impressive results, he uses the premises of the Athens Medical Group hospitals and in Cyprus those of the American Medical Center (American Heart Institute) in Nicosia.
