How does Supartz work?
Supartz makes use of sodium hyaluronate in order to lessen the friction occurring in between patients’ joints. This friction is the one causing the degradation of the bone, leading to the chronic pain experienced by osteoarthritis patients. The solution is very similar to the fluid that surrounds the joints in the joints called synovial fluid. The injected solution will then act as additional fluid to ensure as little friction happens as possible, and will allow patients to continue normal day-to-day activities without the hindrance from pain.
Treatment Details
Supartz must only be injected or applied to a patient by a trained medical professional. It is usually given once a week for around three to five weeks, and is injected directly into the knee joint. To lower the probability of swelling and pain, the patient is recommended to rest the knee, or even apply ice to the targeted knee for a little while after the injection.
How long does Supartz last?
The length will vary depending on the physiology and lifestyle of the patient, but on average this treatment can last for around 9 to 12 months.
