Synvisc® (hylan G-F 20) is a treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. It is a gel-like liquid that is injected directly into the knee joint. Synvisc works to provide the cushioning and lubrication lacking in the arthritic joint. This product is especially useful for people who have not received adequate pain relief from other arthritis treatments but who are not yet good candidates for knee replacement surgery.
