The Effect of Three Weekly Intra-Articular Injections of Hyaluronate on Pain, Function, and Balance in Patients with Unilateral Ankle Arthritis

Abstract

This study suggests that three weekly injections of hyaluronate are well-tolerated and can provide pain relief and improve function and balance in patients with unilateral ankle arthritis. Larger controlled trials with longer follow-up are necessary to verify the effects of hyaluronate in the treatment of ankle arthritis.
