The Use of Viscosupplementation for the Treatment of Patients With Persistent Non-mechanical Pain Status-post Partial Menisectomy

NCT00971074 NA WITHDRAWN

The investigators' objective is to analyze a group of patients who have had a partial meniscectomy but continue to have knee pain after surgery with a double-blind, randomized prospective study comparing the use of Hylan G-F 20(single injection of a viscosupplementation) versus placebo injection. The investigators would expect patients who receive the treatment (Hylan G-F 20) to have lower pain compared to the patients who were in the placebo group (had the needle injected into the knee but no medication or substance injected) since Hylan G-F 20 has been shown to decrease pain in arthritic patients.
