Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for the Knee
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for the knee are a minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce pain, improve joint function, and potentially promote healing in knee injuries or degenerative conditions.
-
Meniscal Surgery
Meniscal surgery is a surgical procedure employed for the treatment of torn or damaged meniscal tissues in the knee. It is mostly performed as a minimally invasive keyhole procedure.
-
Patellar Tendon Repair
Patellar tendon repair is the surgery performed to reattach the torn tendon to the kneecap and to restore normal function in the affected leg.
-
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure performed using an arthroscope, a viewing instrument, to diagnose or treat a knee problem. It is a relatively safe procedure and you will usually be discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery.
-
Knee Surgery
Knee surgery is a surgical procedure for the treatment of a knee injury or condition. The procedure involves repairing diseased or damaged structures of the knee joint in order to eliminate pain and restore normal function.
-
Knee Fracture Surgery
A knee fracture is a broken bone or a crack in or around the joint of the knee. This can involve the tibia (shin bone), the kneecap (patella), or femur (thighbone) where they connect with the knee.
-
Viscosupplementation
Viscosupplementation refers to the injection of a hyaluronan preparation into the joint. Hyaluronan is a natural substance present in the joint fluid that assists in lubrication. It allows the smooth movement of the cartilage-covered articulating surfaces of the joint.
-
Focused Shockwave Therapy
Dr. Ohlson uses Focused Shockwave Therapy (FSW), which concentrates energy at a precise depth. This allows treatment of both superficial and deeper musculoskeletal tissues, including tendons and areas near bone. Focused shockwave has been used in medicine for decades and is supported by a growing body of research in orthopedics and sports medicine.
-
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors. The solution is then injected into the injured area. Because PRP comes from you, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.
-
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) Treatment
Concentrated bone marrow, often referred to as Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC), is a regenerative treatment that utilizes a patient's own biological material to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation in joints and soft tissues.
-
Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT)
Microfragmented Adipose Tissue (MFAT) is a type of regenerative therapy that involves the processing of adipose (fat) tissue to obtain a concentrated source of adipose-derived stromal cells. These cells are then used to treat various painful conditions, particularly those involving musculoskeletal issues such as osteoarthritis of the joints and tendon injuries.
-
Cultured Stem Cells
Stem Cells are unique cells capable of developing into different specialized cell types in the body. Cultured stem cells refer to stem cells that are collected from a source such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, or other tissues and then expanded in a laboratory environment.
