Abstract

An increasingly common degenerative condition that causes difficulty in elderly adults is osteoarthritis (OA).The knee joint is the most frequently affected joint. The symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee include joint discomfort, pain, and reduced range of motion, crepitus, and sporadic effusion. To assess and compare the efficacy of intraarticular hyaluronic acid versus intraarticular hyaluronic acid and ketorolac in osteoarthritis knee. It was an Observational Prospective Analytical Study The study was conducted for 18 months This study was initiated after receiving the approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee of R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, 1, Khudiram Bose Sarani, Kolkata‐ 700004,West Bengal. Of the patients in the Hylan Group, 9 (or 45%) had injections into the left side, whereas 11 (or 55%) received injections into the right side.Out of the total number of patients enrolled in the Hylan+Ketorolac group, 6 (30.0%) had injections on the left side and 14 (70.0%) on the right. There was no statistically significant association between the side injected and the groups (p = 0.3271). Among the patients in the Hylan Group the average body mass index (BMI) was 26.8600±3.3005.The participants in the Hylan+Ketorolac Group had an average body mass index (BMI) of 27.4800±2.6928, with a standard deviation of 2.6928. We could not find a statistically significant distribution of mean BMI with the groups (p = 0.5190). It is recommended to utilise injections of both hyaluronic acid and ketorolac. A large‐scale clinical investigation comparing the efficacy of injecting hyaluronic acid and ketorolac into the knees of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) should be continued.
