Detailed Description
Obtain real world, post market data to confirm the clinical improvement and safety in patients treated with a single injection of MONOVISC for the symptomatic relief of osteoarthritis in the ankle joint. The entire study duration from first subject in to last subject out will be approximately one and half years. The enrollment phase will be approximately 12 months with a follow-up phase of 6 months. Visits will be scheduled at screening, baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment.
