CT-GUIDED EUFLEXXA® INJECTIONS

Dr Glenn & Partners provides CT-guided Euflexxa® injections across our Kogarah, Rockdale and Wollongong clinics for the management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Euflexxa consists of highly purified hyaluronan (sodium hyaluronate), a key component of synovial fluid. In osteoarthritic joints, hyaluronan concentration and molecular weight decline, contributing to reduced lubrication and increased mechanical stress.

Treatment is administered as a course of three CT-guided intra-articular injections, typically spaced two weeks apart. Completion of the full course may provide sustained symptom improvement in patients who have not achieved adequate response to conservative management.

FAQs

Yes. All Euflexxa injections require an appointment. Please contact our Kogarah, Rockdale or Wollongong clinics by phone or submit your referral to arrange the next available booking.

Euflexxa® is a sterile, gel-like product containing purified hyaluronan (sodium hyaluronate). Hyaluronan occurs naturally in joint fluid and acts as both a lubricant and shock absorber. In osteoarthritis, cartilage wears down and natural hyaluronan levels decrease. Euflexxa helps supplement this loss, supporting smoother joint movement and reducing pain.
  • Pain relief for knee osteoarthritis
  • Improved mobility and function
  • Non-surgical treatment option
  • May provide relief for up to 6 months following a full course
  • Made from highly purified hyaluronan, a substance naturally found in joints

Preparation instructions will be provided when booking. In general, you may be asked to:

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
  • Bring any recent imaging or reports
  • Arrange transport home if advised

Please inform our team if you are taking blood-thinning medication or have any medical conditions that may affect your treatment.

Euflexxa treatment is delivered over three sessions, typically spaced two weeks apart.

At each appointment:

  • CT imaging is used to accurately guide the injection
  • The procedure is performed in a sterile clinical environment
  • The injection is completed quickly, with minimal discomfort

You may feel a brief sting from the local anaesthetic or mild pressure during the injection. Most patients return to normal activities shortly afterwards.

After your procedure, a report will be sent to your referring doctor.

  • Duration of relief: Euflexxa may provide symptom relief for up to 6 months, whereas steroid injections often provide shorter-term relief.
  • Joint health: Euflexxa supplements natural joint fluid. Repeated steroid use may contribute to cartilage weakening over time.

Euflexxa may not be suitable if you:

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronan products
  • Have a joint infection or infection near the injection site
  • Are pregnant (as it has not been tested in pregnancy)

Please discuss your medical history with your doctor prior to treatment.

Euflexxa injections are bulk billed with a valid Medicare card.

Reports are typically available within 24–48 hours.
If your referral is marked urgent, please notify our team so we can prioritise your case.
