The neuroprotective mechanisms may involve modulation of inflammatory responses within the central nervous system, promotion of neuronal survival, and enhancement of axonal regeneration and synaptic plasticity
Potential Cost Savings Research demonstrates that viscosupplementation generates significant long-term savings [8]: Individual savings : Delaying surgery by one to two years translates into hundreds to thousands of dollars in avoided out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and recovery expenses Healthcare system impact : At a population level, modest surgical delays across millions of patients could represent billions of dollars in savings Medication cost reduction : Decreased reliance on NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and opioid medications lowers ongoing medication expenses Why Delaying Surgery Matters Even if knee replacement eventually becomes necessary, postponing it offers advantages: Younger implant age : Prosthetic knees have limited lifespans (15-20 years)
