Ostenil is a hyaluronic acid-based injection that works by restoring the natural lubrication within your joints, reducing pain and inflammation.
Whether you’re dealing with knee, hip, or shoulder issues, our expert clinicians provide tailored care to help you get back to the activities you love
What is Ostenil ?
Ostenil is a form of viscosupplementation – a treatment designed to improve the quality of the synovial fluid in your joints.
As we age or develop joint problems, the natural hyaluronic acid in our joints can break down, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced function.
Ostenil contains sodium hyaluronate, which closely mimics your body’s natural joint fluid.
When injected into the joint, it helps lubricate and cushion the area, reducing friction and improving movement.
At My MSK, we use ultrasound-guided imaging to ensure precision and comfort, delivering the treatment exactly where it’s needed.
Who Is Ostenil suitable For?
If you’re struggling with persistent joint discomfort and prefer a non-surgical, Ostenil may be a suitable solution.
Your clinician will assess your condition and discuss whether this treatment is right for you during your consultation.
Ostenil injections are ideal for individuals experiencing joint pain due to:
- Osteoarthritis (particularly in the knees, hips, or shoulders)
- Cartilage damage or wear-and-tear from aging
- Those looking to delay joint replacement surgery
Benefits of Ostenil injections
Ostenil injections offer a range of benefits for those struggling with joint pain and stiffness.
Many patients experience noticeable relief, with improved mobility, reduced discomfort during daily activities, and a greater overall range of motion.
The treatment is minimally invasive, making it a convenient option with little to no downtime.
Relief can last for up to 6–8 months, and repeat injections are safely available if symptoms return.
For many, Ostenil also serves as an effective way to delay or avoid more invasive procedures like joint replacement surgery.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, where one of our experienced musculoskeletal clinicians will evaluate your symptoms, perform a clinical assessment, and confirm the diagnosis.
If Ostenil is recommended, we’ll carry out the injection on the same day under ultrasound guidance.
This ensures the hyaluronic acid is delivered precisely into the affected joint or tendon sheath. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, typically taking just 15–20 minutes.
After your injection, you’ll be given tailored advice on rest, activity modification, and follow-up care to help you recover quickly and maximise results.

How is an Ostenil Injection performed at the Clinic?
At MyMSK we aim to ensure that any Injection/procedure is as comfortable and pain free as possible.
We follow strict procedures and policies so that the injection is effective and safe. In most cases we proceed with the following steps:
- First the area to be injected is located and marked using Ultrasound Guidance.
- Next, this area is cleaned with a sterile antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of infection.
- A local Anaesthetic is administered to the area to numb the area and make the injection as comfortable as possible.
- A Plaster is applied and the patient is free to go home as soon as they feel comfortable to do so. The patient is advised to avoid washing the area for 24 hours and to ‘rest’ the knee from intense activity for 3-5 days.

FAQs
How long Does Ostenil take to Work?
Many patients notice the benefit immediately, but we often recommend it can sometimes take days or weeks to notice the full effect.
If Patients still do not feel much improvement at around the 3 week post injection time period, they often need more than one injection, this acts as a ‘Top up.’
Indeed in many parts of Europe, Ostenil is still given serially in 3 injections over 6 weeks.
How Long Does an Ostenil Injection last?
A single injection of Ostenil in our experience lasts anywhere from 6-8 months. It lasts longer in lower grades of Osteoarthritis. It is safe to top up every 6-12 months.
Are there side effects with an Ostenil Injection?
Side-effects with Ostenil injections are rare. It is non-avian based (Synvisc is avian based).
The side-effects cited in the literature tend to be a temporary redness or swelling which settles down after a few days.
