John and Chirodoc, I think that arthroscopy will be a very UNcommon part of the Synvisc treatment picture. The previous note was from an anesthesiologist - he works in the operating room putting patients to sleep for surgery. So I think that his view is slanted. The most common scenario will be just like we have heard from Canada - exam, x-ray --->diagnosis (osteoarthritis)-----> these are the current treatments (daily NSAIDS with potential side effects esp bleeding ulcers in elderly or Synvisc) The usual treatment we all know is 3 injections given weekly. The beneficial effects then last 6-8 months or as some have posted possibly a lot longer. NO NO NO this is NOT NOT NOT experimental!!!!! It is proven effective and FDA approved!!!!! Chiro I hope you are NOT part of the WA team "promoting" Synvisc or it will be a very uphill battle with your patient/doctor interaction. Jim
