Viscosupplement Injection For Arthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage, the smooth, protective tissue that cushions the ends of bones in a joint. Over time, the cartilage breaks down, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility in the affected joint.

With OA of the knee, less synovial fluid is produced naturally in the knee joint. Gradually, as joint fluid continues to break down and cartilage deteriorates, bones may start to rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling and limited joint activity.

The viscoelastic supplement treatment for OA is mainly HA preparation, which can restore the rheology of synovial fluid and matrix of joint tissue, stabilize the internal environment, increase joint lubrication, reduce synovial inflammation and enhance the ability of HA secretion

To alleviate the destruction of articular cartilage, alleviate clinical symptoms and improve function. Exogenous HA has a short duration in the body, but can play a longer role.
