The common causes are:
- Biomechanical changes- Alignment and Kinetic chain
- Secondary changes- Synovitis, Bone edema
- Peripheral and Central Sensitization
- Psychological issues
- Structural changes
Injection of Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is the same product that naturally occurs in the synovial fluid in the joints. The Hylauronic acid injections can be low molecular weight HA or high molecular weight HA.
Following are the benefits of Hyaluronic acid injections:
- They restore Viscoelastic property of SF (biomechanical role as well)
- Perform anti-inflammatory action on synovitis
- Protect the Cartilage from erosion
- Promote Native HA production
- Have direct or indirect analgesic effect
There are 4 types of Hyaluronic acid injections available in Australia:
●Synvisc
●Durolane
●Euflexxa
●Monovisc
●Durolane
●Euflexxa
●Monovisc
The commonly reported reactions to Viscosupplementation are:
●Increased pain temporarily
●Pain in muscle
●Stiffness
●Infection
●Lack of adequate effect
●Idiosyncratic reaction with animal derived HA (not very common)
