Durolane injection (hyaluronic acid / viscosupplementation)
Durolane is a hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) injection used most commonly for knee osteoarthritis and selected hip/other joint cases. The aim is to reduce pain and improve function so you can keep moving and progress rehabilitation.
What is Durolane?
Durolane is a sterile hyaluronic acid injection designed to support lubrication and symptom control in osteoarthritis. Response varies between people. We’ll explain expected benefits, realistic timelines and whether this is a good option for your presentation.
Who may be suitable (clinical assessment required)
- Knee osteoarthritis with persistent pain affecting walking, stairs or sport
- People wanting a non‑surgical option to support rehab and activity
- Those who have tried physiotherapy/exercise and want an additional pain‑management tool
What to expect
- On the day: assessment → ultrasound scan when indicated → injection where clinically appropriate
- After: mild soreness is possible for 24–72 hours
- Timeline: symptom change is often gradual over weeks (varies)
- Best results: combined with a strengthening and load‑management plan
Ultrasound guidance
Where clinically appropriate, we use ultrasound guidance to improve accuracy and confidence of injection placement. You’ll receive clear aftercare advice and a rehab plan.
