VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION

Viscosupplementation is a procedure where a thick fluid called hyaluronic acid is injected into the knee joint. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial (joint) fluid. It acts as a lubricant to enable bones to move smoothly over each other and as a shock absorber for joint loads. To learn more about Viscosupplementation procedures, please click here.
