Intra-articular Hyaluronan After Arthroscopic Meniscal Surgery
- Conditions
- Arthroscopic Meniscal Surgery
- Interventions
- Device: Hyaluronan (0.5%, 5 mg/10 ml)Procedure: Standard arthroscopic meniscal surgery
- Registration Number
- NCT01482624
- Lead Sponsor
- TRB Chemedica AG
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to determine whether post-arthroscopic treatment with 10 ml of 0.5% sodium hyaluronate (VISCOSEAL® SYRINGE) can relief pain, improve mobility and promote joint recovery, compared to the standard arthroscopy procedure alone, in patients undergoing arthroscopic procedure.
