Dr Theodorides then undertook three years of subspecialty fellowship training in centres of excellence for knees with a special interest in sports injuries: London, Coventry, Bristol, Southampton and Leeds. He has a logbook of over 6000 operations and a special interest in sports knee injuries, ligament reconstructions, complex meniscal repair and meniscal transplants, chondral regeneration and transplantation, anterior knee pain, patella instability, trochleoplasties, knee realignment osteotomies and knee arthroplasty. He has always sought to learn from internationally leading figures in the field of knee surgery and will be passing on the wealth of knowledge and experience for the benefit of his patients.

During his fellowship at the Fortius Clinic, London, next to internationally renowned Mr Sam Church, Mr Jonathon Lavelle and Mr Andy Williams, he acquired experience in the management of sports knee injuries in elite athletes as well as anterior knee pain and patella instability.

In Bristol under the auspices of Mr Jonathon Eldridge he developed further his interest in patella instability, and patellofemoral arthroplasty with complex referrals from all over the UK and beyond. Mr Eldridge is one of the leading world figures in trochleoplasty. Working with Mr Andrew Porteous was a great opportunity to experience the management of complex knee arthroplasty as Bristol is a tertiary referral centre of excellence. 

He has obtained further skills and knowledge from several national and international visiting fellowships to world leaders in the field of sports knee injuries. He visited twice the International Knee and Joint Centre to visit Dr Charlie Brown at Abu Dhabi, UAE; Professor Christian Fink and Dr Christian Hoser in Innsbruck, Austria, with their extensive experience in skiing injuries and pioneering work on use of quadriceps tendon graft in ligament reconstructions; and Basingstoke Hospital, UK, to obtain tips on complex knee realignment osteotomies.
