Intraarticular injections of hyaluronic acid
Intraarticular injections of hyaluronic acid is a method of treating osteoarthritis by injecting hyaluronic acid into the joint. Hyaluronic acid is a natural element of the intraarticular fluid and serves as a lubricant for the joint, which protects it from injury and reduces friction and wear and provides articular cartilage. As a result of insufficient formation of hyaluronic acid, the cartilage is thinning and its rapid wear. Injections of hyaluronic acid makes it possible to fill hyaluron deficiency and reduce the consequences of joint destruction, as a result of which the flexibility and elasticity of joints increase, pain passes during movement.
