What are Hyaluronic Acid Injections?
Hyaluronic acid injections are a minimally invasive treatment option for knee osteoarthritis that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. Injections are performed as a quick and easy outpatient procedure. A topical anesthetic is applied over the knee before the procedure begins—anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or pain medications are not needed. After the patient is relaxed and the knee is numb, the procedure begins:
A needle is carefully guided into the joint
Hyaluronic acid is injected into the joint
The needle is removed and a band-aid is placed over the tiny mark
