A member asked:

What is subchondral sclerosis osteophytosis? what is the usual treatment? does orthovisc injection help? does physical therapy help?

Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Unfortunately, there is no treatment for this condition. Orthovisc injection helps the joint moving with less pain but it does not melt the osteophytes.
