Viscosupplementation Injection
Joint Fluid Therapy, also known as 'viscosupplementation' is intended for patients with osteoarthritis for the knees. The medications are administered by intra-articular injection (ie into the knee joint). A treatment cycle consists of five injections (Hyalgan or Supartz) or three injections (Synvisc, Euflexxa or Orthovisc) given at weekly intervals. Patients who undergo this therapy generally have a lot of knee pain and have often failed other forms of therapy, such as anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), bracing, canes, weight reduction and activity modification. If you have knee inflammation, including swelling or tenderness, you may be given a different type of injection, for example a single cortisone shot. Since the viscosupplementation injections are given at weekly intervals, a three injection series would be done over a two week period (ie, Monday, Monday, Monday). Don't panic if you get your injections six or eight or nine days apart, it's not likely to ruin your treatment.
