Summary
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease in which there is an imbalance between
the breakdown and repair of the joint tissue. Intraarticular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections
are used for the management of knee OA. Currently, there is limited and inconclusive evidence
supporting use of HA injections for management of knee OA. The primary objective of our study
is to evaluate the effectiveness of HA injections in the management of knee OA. Investigators
will evaluate if HA injections prevent or delay knee OA surgical interventions.
