  • 4\.Continued pain in the target knee despite at least 3 months of conservative treatments, including activity modification, home exercise, protective weight bearing, and/or analgesics (for example, acetaminophen or non\-steroidal anti\-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs])
  • 5\.Radiologic confirmation of arthritis (x\-ray/MRI/CT) of OA grade of 2 (mild), 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe) noted within 6 months for the index knee (Kellgren and Lawrence system)

Exclusion Criteria

  • d.Evidence of neuropathic pain affecting the index knee
  • e.Previous or pending lower limb amputation
  • f.Hyaluronic acid injection, platelet rich plasma (PRP), stem cell, or arthroscopic debridement/lavage injection into the index knee within 90 days.
  • g.Clinically significant ligamentous laxity of the index knee
  • h.Clinically significant valgus/varus deformities or evidence of pathology (other than osteoarthritis of knee) that materially affects gait or function of the knee or is the underlying cause of the knee pain and/or functional limitations
  • i.Pregnant, nursing or intent on becoming pregnant during the study period
  • j.Allergies to any of the medications to be used during the procedures, including known hypersensitivity (allergy) to hyaluronate preparations or allergies to avian or avian\-derived products (including eggs, feathers, or poultry)
