Intra Articular Knee Injection (Viscosupplementation)

Viscosupplementation involves injecting a gel-like substance, typically hyaluronic acid, into the knee joint to alleviate pain and improve mobility in individuals with osteoarthritis. This viscous fluid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, restoring joint fluid viscosity. Though its efficacy varies among patients, some experience relief for several months. The procedure aims to delay the need for knee replacement surgery and enhance overall joint function. Adverse effects are generally mild, including temporary swelling or pain at the injection site. Viscosupplementation is part of the broader spectrum of treatments for osteoarthritis, with its benefits and limitations carefully considered for each patient.
