George Tselentakis is an expert in the following knee surgery procedures:
Unicompartmental knee replacement, also known as partial knee replacement, is a surgical procedure used to treat osteoarthritis in one part of the knee joint. In this procedure, only the damaged or diseased part of the knee joint is replaced with
Total knee replacement, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint, known as a prosthetic implant. This procedure is typically performed to alleviate severe
PCL reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to repair or reconstruct the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in the knee. The PCL is one of the four major ligaments in the knee joint, and it plays a critical role in stabilizing
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) refers to a condition in which a portion of the bone and the overlying cartilage, typically in a joint, undergoes a process of degeneration and may eventually become detached. This condition most commonly affects the knee joint,
Meniscal tears are a common injury to the cartilage in the knee joint, usually caused by twisting or pivoting movements. The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped disc that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. Meniscal tears can range from minor
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to address instability and recurrent dislocation of the patella (kneecap). The MPFL is a crucial ligament that helps stabilize the patella and prevent it from dislocating laterally (toward the outside
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) is an advanced surgical procedure used to treat larger articular cartilage defects in joints. It aims to repair the damaged cartilage by introducing healthy cartilage cells from the patient’s own body. ACI is particularly suitable for
Microfracture is a surgical technique used to treat articular cartilage defects in joints. It is most commonly employed for small to medium-sized defects and is often performed arthroscopically, which involves using small incisions and a tiny camera (arthroscope) to guide
ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries are a type of knee injury that occurs when the ACL, one of the four major ligaments in the knee joint, is torn or damaged. The ACL connects the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia)
A revision total knee replacement, also known as a revision TKR, is a surgical procedure performed to replace a previously implanted artificial knee joint with a new one. This procedure is typically considered when a primary total knee replacement (TKR)
Stem cell therapy is a regenerative medicine approach that involves using stem cells to promote the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues in the body, including the knee joint. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to develop
Prolotherapy is a regenerative medicine approach that involves injecting a solution of irritant substances, such as dextrose or other natural substances, into damaged or injured tissues, including the knee joint, in order to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. The injection
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections involve using a concentrated solution of platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins derived from the patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration in damaged or injured tissues. During the procedure, a small amount
Lipogems technology is a minimally invasive regenerative medicine approach that involves using a patient’s own adipose (fat) tissue to promote tissue repair and regeneration in damaged tissues, including the knee joint. During the procedure, a small amount of adipose tissue
Laser therapy for knees is a non-invasive regenerative medicine approach that involves using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or high-power laser therapy (HPLT) to reduce pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing in the knee joint. During the procedure, a handheld
Hyaluronic acid injections, also known as viscosupplementation, involve injecting a gel-like solution of hyaluronic acid into the knee joint in order to help lubricate the joint and reduce pain and inflammation. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in
Growth factor injections involve using concentrated solutions of growth factors to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration in damaged tissues, including the knee joint. Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins in the body that play a critical role in tissue repair
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive regenerative medicine approach that involves using shock waves to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration in damaged tissues, including the knee joint. During the procedure, a handheld device is used to deliver high-energy
Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is a surgical procedure used to treat cartilage defects in the knee joint. The procedure involves removing a small amount of healthy cartilage cells (chondrocytes) from the patient’s knee, which are then grown in a laboratory
Microfracture surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat knee conditions such as cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. The procedure involves creating small holes in the bone beneath the damaged area of cartilage, which allows new cartilage
