Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Monovisc Injection take to work?

The onset of pain relief with Monovisc Injection varies, but many patients report a noticeable improvement in knee pain within a few weeks after the injection.

Is Monovisc Injection suitable for everyone?

Monovisc Injection is ideal for patients with knee osteoarthritis who haven’t found relief with traditional treatments. However, it’s important to consult with our specialists to determine if it’s the right option for you.

Are there any side effects of Monovisc Injection?

Monovisc Injection is generally well-tolerated, but like any medical treatment, it may have side effects. Our clinic ensures a thorough assessment to minimize any risks.

How is Monovisc administered?

A trained specialist uses a single injection to administer Monovisc. This is known as viscosupplementation. During the procedure, the patient will either be lying down or sitting, and a local anaesthetic may be used. The injected area is cleaned and bandaged after the Monovisc has been administered.

How does Monovisc help with osteoarthritis knee pain?

The Monovisc injection contains ultra-pure hyaluronic acid, which can be found in the synovial fluid of the knee joint. This gel-like substance lubricates the joint, helping prevent damage and discomfort that might lead to pain. By allowing the bones of the joint to move more freely, Monovisc injections also help delay the onset of osteoarthritis.

How long should I wait between injections?

Most patients will be able to go for a repeat procedure after six months. However, this may not be true depending on your situation. If your osteoarthritis is deemed to be too advanced, then your surgeon may advise knee replacement surgery.

Knee Cartilage Repair Supplements and Evidence in the UK

Knee cartilage damage from injury, arthritis, or aging causes pain and reduced mobility, with limited self-repair ability. Supplements like glucosamine, chondroitin, turmeric, collagen, omega-3, and vitamin D may support cartilage health by reducing inflammation and aiding repair, though evidence is mixed. Recent animal studies show promise for combined treatments such as hyaluronic acid with curcumin conjugates. UK patients should choose high-quality supplements, consider proper dosing, and consult healthcare professionals to personalize treatment. Supplements are part of a broader joint care strategy including lifestyle changes, physiotherapy, and advanced surgical options. Expert-guided, tailored approaches at clinics like the London Cartilage Clinic combine the latest research with multidisciplinary care to optimize outcomes. While no single gold standard exists, informed use of supplements alongside comprehensive management can help improve knee joint health and quality of life.
