Efficacy of Viscosupplementation in a Patient with Bilateral Partial Meniscectomies: A Case Study

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease that can significantly impair daily life and mobility. This case report describes a 60-year-old female with bilateral knee OA and a history of partial medial meniscectomies, who experienced severe pain and functional limitations despite conservative treatments. After receiving two injections of viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid, the patient experienced substantial pain reduction and functional improvement. Her Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score decreased from 8/10 to 3/10, and she was able to ambulate without assistance. This case suggests that viscosupplementation can be effective in improving quality of life for individuals with knee OA who do not respond to conservative treatments.
