Clinical investigation on hyaluronic acid in the treatment of gonoarthrosis.
The clinical efficacy and tolerance of the sodium salt Hyaluronic acid (HA) 20 mg/2 ml administered through the intraarticulation every week, for a four week period in a group of 12 patients with gonoarthrosis were investigated. Such a treatment has brought about a bettering of the baseline clinical parameters considered, i.e., spontaneous, stiffness, walking time and analgesics consumption.
