Viscosity and viscoelasticity of osteoarthritic synovial fluids in comparison to intraarticular injection of hyaluronic acid (Synvisc and Suplasyn)
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is a debilitating degenerative disease of the old age . One of the pathophysiology is that the synovial fluids (SF) are reduced due to the lowered concentration, reduced molecular weight of hyaluronic acid, thus reducing the viscoelasticity of the SF. Apart from the pharma...
