Hyaluronic acid injection in the knee: information for patients
Hyaluronic acid injection into the knee, also known as viscosupplementation, is a treatment option designed to relieve the pain associated with osteoarthritis. This treatment involves injecting a substance naturally present in the joint to improve lubrication and reduce friction. It helps to reduce inflammation, restore mobility and improve quality of life.
This procedure, performed in a doctor’s office under sterile conditions, is fast and minimally invasive. Side effects are rare, usually limited to slight pain or temporary swelling at the injection site. This treatment can be considered when conventional therapies such as analgesics or physiotherapy fail, or when waiting for knee replacement surgery.
To find out whether this option is right for you, a personalized pain assessment by your doctor is essential before the procedure.
This procedure can be carried out right from the first consultation. An information letter will be sent to you via Doctolib.
