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.

ACL Tear Symptoms and Treatment Importance

ACL Tear Symptoms and Treatment Importance

An ACL tear is a common knee injury, especially in sports involving sudden stops and pivots, causing sharp pain, a popping sound, and knee instability. The anterior cruciate ligament stabilizes the knee by controlling shin movement and preventing excessive twisting. Immediate symptoms include swelling and difficulty bearing weight, while diagnosis typically requires MRI imaging to confirm the ligament damage. Proper medical evaluation and expert care, such as at the London Cartilage Clinic, are crucial for tailored treatment and recovery. Understanding ACL tear symptoms and causes helps in timely intervention and preventing further injury.
