Knee injections are broadly used in two categories, steroid injection, and second, hyaluronic injection. Steroid knee injections are reserved for very aged patients who suffer from acute and painful knee osteoarthritis and are not fit to undergo the procedure of total knee replacement. In these cases, steroid injections can give temporary pain relief. While hyaluronic knee injections are an artificial chemical substance that is injected in the knee that closely adapts to the structure of synovial fluid, naturally found in the knee. These fluids provide lubrication to the articular surface of the knee and relieve the pain. Especially, when the hyaluronic injection is given at early and moderate stages of osteoarthritis benefits and relieves the pain in patients. Another option which can undergo for moderately-advanced osteoarthritis who are not physically fit or financially strong to support such costly treatment. Microsurgery is performed which is known as arthroscopy of the knee, where dead or torn cartilage is taken out and after three weeks hyaluronate injection is applied. Most patient benefits from the procedure while others may not. But hyaluronic injections in early and moderate stages can be beneficial. Dr. Subhasis Das - Orthopaedic Surgeon is describing the effectiveness of knee injections.
