Group/Cohort | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
HA injection
Patients with osteoarthritis of knee. They are going to received HA injection 1 vial per week for 5 weeks.
|
Other: Synovial fluid composition and lubrication analysis
Before HA injection, synovial fluid must be drawn to increase treatment effectiveness. The drawn synovial fluid was then analyzed in the lab. There was no influence for patients enrolled because the drawn synovial fluid would usually be discarded. |
