Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Periarticular Hyaluronic Acid in Acute Ankle Sprain

Abstract

Conclusion:

Our results showed superior short- and long-term therapeutic response of periarticular HA in patients with acute ankle sprain versus standard of care
treatment. Further, periarticular HA resulted in fewer recurrent ankle sprains, less use of concomitant treatments, and fewer days missing from sport 2 years after the initial injury. Given that this treatment is easily performed in primary care sport medicine and has high patient satisfaction, these results suggest that periarticular HA in acute ankle should be considered an important alternative by physicians and their patients.

Abstract

Conclusion:

Peri-articular HA treatment for tennis elbow was significantly better than control in improving pain at rest and after maximal grip testing. Further, HA treatment was highly satisfactory by patients and physicians and resulted in better return to pain free sport compared to control.

Ultrasound-guided subacromial injections of sodium hyaluronate for the management of rotator cuff tendinopathy: a prospective comparative study with rehabilitation therapy

Merolla G
Bianchi P
Porcellini G

Abstract

Conclusion:

Subacromial HA injections could be an effective and safe alternative treatment for patients suffering from RC tendinopathy. We believe that the results of this study are encouraging but not lasting and we might suppose that a series of three to four subacromial sodium hyaluronate injections could provide good mid- and long-term clinical benefits.
