Abstract
The article discusses the issue and our own experience of local therapy for osteoarthritis of the ankle joint with injections of linear hyaluronic acid under ultrasound navigation. Since the ankle joint is difficult in terms of surgical treatment in general and endoprosthetics in particular, a course of intra-articular injection of 1% Flexotron® Forte hyaluronate, especially in the early stages of dystrophic changes in cartilage, is a promising method for relieving pain, chondroprotection and preserving the biomechanics of the joint, and ultrasound navigation when performing manipulation, it ensures the most accurate introduction of the drug into the joint cavity.
