[Evaluation of the value of intraarticular Hyalgan injections for treatment of knee joint osteoarthritis]
Abstract
The efficacy of Hyalgan has been assessed in a series of 96 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee of various stage. Subjective and objective findings were recorded during four weeks of Hyalgan administration and during 6 months following. Marked improvement was observed in patients with low to medium degree of degenerative changes. Those with advanced osteoarthritis seem to benefit little if any from Hyalgan.
