Synvisc-One.......................
One injection....Lasts up to 6 months of Osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain relief..... 
Synvisc-One is the only treatment of its kind that can deliver up to 6 months of OA knee pain relief with just one injection...................  No more 6 shots ,3 each knee at one week intervals. It will save me a lot of gas money traveling from home to the VA.............

Had to quit running because of Arthritis build up in my heels and knees. Have a fairly severe reaction to Cortisone. Woul love some relief and start jogging again, maybe help get rid of the extra 6 pounds Ive gained since quit smoking and jogging.

I have heard of it but haven't used it on any patients yet. The drug rep is coming by next week and I'll push them on the data. Reps don't have an easy time at my office

Synvisc-One
There are two web sites for this FDA approved product.
http://www.Synviscone.com pretty good site for patient information.
http://www.genzyme.com gives a bit more information.
Of note is the report that symptoms may take up to one month to improve. Reports that up to six months of symptom relief is possible. The injection of synviscone ( hylan G-F 20) can be repeated according to the literature.
I'll talk with the Ortho docs and get their input.
My $.02.
