A new once only injection of Synvisc for knee arthritis.
Synvisc injection or Hyalan GF 20 has long been one of the most popular viscosupplementation injections in use world wide.
The molecular weight of Synvisc and it's natural viscosity makes it very similar to natural healthy synovial fluid.
In the past Synvisc had to be given once a week or once every two weeks for a total of three injections but the manufacturers have now released Synvisc One - a product combining all three doses in one syringe. Now only one knee injection is required.
Synvisc One seems to be just as effective as the normal three synvisc injections and is an effective and safe way to treat knee arthritis.
Doctor Cameron has extensive experience of using Synvisc in the treatment of arthritis. It's safe, effective in many cases and almost completely free of side effects. Some people experience a transient flare reaction but this is not common overall.
