Use of Hyaluronic Acid Injections increased, despite recommendations against their use - Video
Overview
For Medicare beneficiaries with knee osteoarthritis, the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) injections has increased in recent years, despite clinical guidelines recommending against the use of this treatment, reports a study in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery. The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio in partnership with Wolters Kluwer.
In 2013, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) published updated clinical practice guidelines recommending against the use of HA injections for patients with knee osteoarthritis, citing a lack of high-quality data to support the effectiveness of this procedure. Despite this recommendation, "[W]e found that HA services continued to be widely implemented among this patient population," according to the new research by Atul F. Kamath, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic and colleagues.
