TREATMENTS

George Tselentakis is an expert in the following knee surgery procedures:

Surgical treatments

Unicompartmental knee replacement

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

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

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

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 tear treatment

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 reconstruction

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

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

Articular Cartilage Treatment / Early Arthritis

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

Arthrosamid Injections

What are Arthrosamid Injections? Arthrosamid injections are a minimally invasive treatment for knee osteoarthritis, involving the injection of a gel-like substance directly into the knee joint. Unlike other viscosupplement injections for the knee, Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable hydrogel, The gel

ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)

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

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)

Biological treatments

Stem cell therapy

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

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) therapy

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

Read More »

Lipogems Technology

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

Read More »

Laser Therapy

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

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

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

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 (ACl)

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

Arthroscopic Microfracture Surgery

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
