Study on Role of Viscosupplementation in Primary Osteoarthritis of Knee in Elderly Population

Abstract

This study was conducted to establish the effective implementation of intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection therapy in osteoarthritis of knee in comparison with the results of conservative therapy and intra-articular steroids injection therapy. We come into conclusion that injection Hylan G-F 20, if its cost is reduced, might be at least used for the treatment of primary OA knee very early to better avoid the costly surgical intervention like prosthesis or total joint replacement.
