- Abstract
A study was carried out to verify the efficacy of intra-articular orgotein in patients with different forms of hydrarthrosis of the knee. The results confirm the value of orgotein for the local treatment of osteoarthritic joint swellings. However in the presence of marked exudative synovitis processes (chronic primary polyarthritis), the use of orgotein is of limited value.
