RESPONSES/COMMENTS (CLNICAL) - PART 1A
From: David Secord, DPM
When Synvisc™ was first introduced, I was one of the approximately 75 physicians chosen to use it in the ankle to see if it had the same benefits as in the knee. The trial provided the Synvisc™ for five injections for each patient. My patient count for the trial was 25 individuals, and all but two returned to have all five injections. None of them reported any relief of arthritic symptoms from the treatment.
I have no idea why it appears to work so well in the knee and not in the ankle. This was obviously a long time ago (+20 years) and other formulations have been introduced since then. I would be unlikely to be very enthusiastic about this for my patients after the experience with Synvisc™ in the ankle.
