Plain-language answers about prosthetic limbs, orthoses, scoliosis, insoles and EOPYY reimbursement, from the team at Hlamidis Orthopaedic Center in Thessaloniki, Greece.
In our articles and guides, the prosthetist-orthotists at Hlamidis Orthopaedic Center answer, in plain language, the questions we hear every day in our workshop in Thessaloniki. We write for patients, families and healthcare professionals who want to understand their options before making an important decision.
Our articles are based on our team's experience in making and fitting orthopaedic products since 1952. Wherever we mention EOPYY amounts or procedures, we refer to the official Government Gazette (ΦΕΚ) and note the date of the update, because the rules change.
Our articles are for information only and do not replace your doctor's advice. For your own case, contact us on +30 2310 282 894.
