Anyone out there with experience having synvisc injections to aid in recovery from chondromalacia (AKA patello-femoral syndrome/PFS)? I have a cyclist friend who refuses to rest completely who has PFS. I’m going to send him to PT and I’m thinking about also injecting his knee with synvisc (or cortisone) but cannot find any data to support this ideas.
You won’t find much data supporting the use of Synvisc for patellofemoral syndrome for a reason …
