VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION FOR KNEE PAIN 

Rooster comb, viscosupplementation of the knee in Raleigh, NC

WHAT ARE VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION INJECTIONS (AKA LUBRICANT OR ROOSTER COMB)?
At Carolina Nonsurgical Orthopedics, one of the many options we offer is viscosupplementation (gel/H.A.), also called "rooster comb" injections. These injections act as a lubricant inside of the knee joint. ​
 

WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE? 
Viscosupplementation (Rooster Comb) are generally about 50-60% effective for reducing knee pain based on current studies. ​Some medical societies have gone so far as to advise against using gel injections as they have such a poor success rate.   

​

We do offer other orthobiologic treatments with higher success rates, such as PRP, SuperPRP, and MFAT cell transfers. These treatments have a success rate closer to 80-90% based on current studies.
