Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist Androniki Drakou (born 1965), also known as Nina Drakou, is a Greek doctor descended from Komotini, Greece[1] specialized in orthopedic surgery.[2] She is currently the Director of the Orthopaedics Clinic of Laiko General Hospital.[3]

Education

Drakou graduated from the Medical School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1991. She also holds a MPhil from the University of Sheffield (2008)and a postgraduate diploma in Principles of Computer-Assisted Knee Arthroplasty from the University of Glasgow (2011).[2]

Distinctions

Nina Drakou is known for pioneering complex operations in orthopaedic surgery. In 2018 she led a team of orthopaedic surgeons in applying limb-lengthening intramedullary nails activated by an external electromagnetic field on a young patient with achondroplasia. The operation took place at Laiko General and it was the first of its kind to be performed in a Greek public hospital.[4] At the same hospital, in 2020 she performed the first operation using computer-aided simulation and 3-D printing to reconstruct the deformed thigh bone of a patient with a rare bone disease. The surgical procedure was developed by a team of researchers, engineers and orthopaedic surgeons from Balgrist University (Zurich) and the Orthopaedic team of Laiko General under the direction of Drakou.[5]

Her research interests include limb reconstruction by distraction osteogenesis, complex trauma, bone infection, rare skeletal diseases as well as computer assisted and minimally invasive arthroplasty of the hip & knee,[2] while she has presented her work at related medical seminars and conferences.[6][7]
