Hyaluronic acid (HA) is effective in reducing knee pain in several inflammatory diseases (particularly in osteoarthritis). In this case report, we show that a single dose of 30 mg/2 ml HA injection eliminated pain in the knee but not in the painful anterior talofibular ligament. In the knee, the pain was eliminated after about 20 minutes, while in the torn ligament, the pain persisted. These results are probably due to the different nature of the tissue, and show that HA is more appropriate for synovial pain than tendon pain.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is effective in reducing knee pain in several inflammatory diseases (particularly in osteoarthritis). In this case report, we show that a single dose of 30 mg/2 ml HA injection eliminated pain in the knee but not in the painful anterior talofibular ligament. In the knee, the pain was eliminated after about 20 minutes, while in the torn ligament, the pain persisted. These results are probably due to the different nature of the tissue, and show that HA is more appropriate for synovial pain than tendon pain.File in questo prodotto:
