Synvisc injection: Definition, Uses, and Clinical Overview
Synvisc injection is a type of viscosupplementation used to treat joint pain, most commonly in the knee. It contains a hyaluronan-based gel designed to supplement the joint’s natural lubricating fluid. It is typically used for osteoarthritis-related knee pain when simpler treatments have not been enough. It is given as an in-office injection into the knee joint space by a trained clinician.
