Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Single shot Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc)

Intra-articular injection of the Single shot 6 mL of Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc)

Drug: Hylan G-F 20
After full aseptic preparation, Single shot intra-articular injection either 6 mL of Hylan G-F 20 or 1 mL of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide plus 5 mL of 1% xylocaine with adrenaline were injected into the joint cavity using the infero-lateral approach via a 21-gauge needle.
Other Names:
  • Synvisc
  • Active Comparator: Corticosteroid (Triamcinolone acetonide)

    Intra-articular injection of 1 mL of 40 mg Triamcinolone acetonide plus 5 mL of 1% xylocaine with adrenaline injected at the knee by single shot

    Drug: Corticosteroid
    After full aseptic preparation, Single shot intra-articular injection either 6 mL of Hylan G-F 20 or 1 mL of 40 mg triamcinolone acetonide plus 5 mL of 1% xylocaine with adrenaline were injected into the joint cavity using the infero-lateral approach via a 21-gauge needle.
