Summary
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.
