The effectiveness of eco-guided infiltrations with high molecular weight associated with administration of oral chondroprotective supplements in osteoarthritis of the hip

Abstract

Osteoarthritis does not mean a degenerative articular process only but a pathologic expression of wear, inflammation and immunological imbalance of the joints. Our study has the aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of eco-guidate infiltrations with high molecular weight associated with administration of oral chondroprotective supplements (glucosamine solfate, chondroitin sulphate, hydrolyzed collagen type II, hyaluronic acid and L carnitine fumarate) in comparison with the only treatment with ecoguided infiltrations with hyaluronic acid in patients suffering from primary osteoarthiritis of the hip.
