FYI:Strategies for Synvisc as used by Doctors ..... ======================================================== Strategy by doctor using Synvisc:Delay Knee Replacement ======================================================== Posted by Laverne Morrison on December 31, 1997 at 16:08:26: In Reply to: Synvisc posted by Kevin on December 16, 1997 at 23:22:25: Kevin, I do not know about your dad's hip but I have had it done to my right knee (soon to be done to the left) and IN MY CASE it is a delaying manouver. I am 52 and replacement knees appear to only last about 10 years and they are trying to pospone the operation(s) as long as possible. IN MY CASE, we expect the delay to be several years. IN MY CASE, the knees only got really bad in the last couple of years.
