Commonly referred to as knee joint degeneration, is a chronic condition where the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away. This leads to pain, swelling, stiffness, and decreased mobility as the bones in the joint begin to rub against each other due to the loss of protective cartilage.
1. Pain, especially during movement or after prolonged inactivity.
2. Swelling in the knee joint.
3. Decreased range of motion and stiffness.
4. A grating sensation during movement.
5. Joint instability or weakness.

Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly used to treat knee osteoarthritis.
This therapy is known as viscosupplementation.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in joint fluid, which helps to lubricate and cushion the knee joint.
Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the bones of the knee.
It restores some of the shock-absorbing qualities lost due to cartilage damage.
While it doesn't reverse the condition, the injections can reduce pain and inflammation, improving the patient's ability to move.
For some patients, regular injections can help slow the progression of the disease and delay the need for surgery.
Typically, a doctor will inject the hyaluronic acid directly into the knee joint.
Effects can last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the individual.
Hyaluronic acid injections are most suitable for patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
It is an option for those who haven’t found relief from other treatments like physical therapy, pain relievers, or corticosteroid injections.
These injections offer an option for non-surgical management of osteoarthritis, providing relief for patients who may not yet need joint replacement surgery.
The D Visc cross-linked hyaluronic acid injection, produced by Biolot in Turkey, is primarily used to treat knee osteoarthritis by improving joint lubrication and reducing pain.
This injectable therapy is a form of viscosupplementation, where hyaluronic acid is introduced into the knee joint to enhance the quality of synovial fluid.
A healthcare professional administers the injection directly into the knee joint. It typically involves a single injection or a series of injections, depending on the treatment protocol.
The effects of a cross-linked hyaluronic acid injection like D Visc can last for several months, usually up to 6-12 months, and may be repeated as needed.
Patients are advised to rest the knee for a short period after the injection and avoid strenuous activities for the first 48 hours.
D Visc helps reduce pain by mimicking the natural hyaluronic acid in the joint, improving the cushioning and lubrication within the knee.
It enhances joint movement by restoring the viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid, leading to improved mobility and reduced stiffness.
Due to its cross-linked structure, D Visc provides a more prolonged effect compared to non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, often lasting for up to a year.
