reaction to synvisc one and ended up needing drainage and hospital management for pain control for two days.On (b)(6) 2017, the patient saw the healthcare professional with intractable left knee pain following the injection, visited the emergency room again and was admitted on the same day.Patient was given iv pain medication which provided some relief and patient was feeling better.At this time orthopedics was consulted.On (b)(6) 2017, 1 day 11 hours after hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate, patient was hysterical and hyperventilating and experiencing pain with any movement of the left-leg as well as light touch to the skin.Patient was able to flex and extend her toes and ankle although painful.Patient refused any examination secondary to the pain, although attempted initially.Wbc was elevated at 18.2, but the patient was afebrile and non toxic appearing.The left knee was swollen, but the patient denied any warmth or redness.It was reported that the flex and extend her toes and ankle although painful.On the same day, 1 day after hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate, x-ray was negative for any acute osseous abnormality, but did noted a small joint effusion.Patient had left lower extremity venous and arterial duplex to rule out deep vein thrombosis or arterial occlusion which were unremarkable.On the same day, patient had ct of left knee/thigh and a small supra patellar left knee joint effusion was identified.Small posterior popliteal cyst was noted.The complete blood count with differential was performed 1 day after hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate which revealed wbc

on pain scale and left foot appeared swollen.Edema was extra-articular and appeared to be a inflammatory reaction in quadriceps tendon/muscle, possibly due to extra articular injection of synvisc.It was reported that acute pain now could represent local inflammatory reaction or a pseudoseptic reaction to injection.The patient received treatment with hydrocodone-acetomin 7.5 and meloxicam 15 mg just for pain.On (b)(6) 2017, patient had aspiration of left knee and 30 ml of clear blood tinged synovial fluid was aspirated.Fluid analysis was negative for crystals or bacteria but was positive for 13000 wbc and 15000 rbc.Patient tolerated the procedure well.On the same day, wbc count increased to 24.1.Patient was still afebrile, despite an increase in wbc count, presumably thought to be from high dose of solu-medrol received in emergency department on arrival (dose, frequency and indication: unknown).Patient was appearing non toxic.Suspect leukocytosis was reactive but could not rule out septic arthritis.There was no sign of infection or compartment syndrome.Her left knee pain was improved and her range of motion also improved and the patient was able to ambulate with walker.Patient would be discharged with crutches, pain medication and rice therapy.Patient was cleared by orthopedic surgery for discharge home for outpatient follow up.On (b)(6) 2019, the patient had low carbon

abscess formation or damage to the quadriceps.Patient was able to single leg raise at this time indicating an intact extensor mechanism.On the same day, the left knee was aspirated of 35cc under sterile conditions.The patient tolerated the aspiration well and was aware to place an ice bag over the site tonight.The culture was sent for anaerobic, aerobic, gram stain, cell count and crystal analysis.Results were as follows: synovial fluid culture: no anaerobes recovered, gram stain: few poly morphonuclear cells (pmn's), moderate rbc's, no organisms, no growth at 4 days.Patient was given a prescription for a hinge brace.Patient would return for re-evaluation in 4 days.Patient's husband implied that the synvisc one injection was given directly into the quadriceps muscle, but there was no evidence of fluid or injury within the quadriceps.There was however evidence of fluid within the joint which was where the synvisc was injected.According to physician, this led to a reaction and this increased the production of fluid within her knee.Patient was advised to tell future doctors to never give her synvisc one because of this apparent reaction and was recommended that she should be given a brace prescription for her knee.On (b)(6) 2017, patient was reevaluated for left knee and still had pain in left knee.Patient was noted to have a moderate amount of effusion within the knee.No crepitation was noted beneath the kneecap with flexion and extension.Patient was discouraged from another aspiration and that the effusion appeared to be markedly reduced from the last aspiration.Patient was encouraged to perform rheumatologic testing to make certain there was not a rheumatologic cause for her continued complaints of pain.On (b)(6) 2017, patient presented with knee pain, location was on the left and at the joint line, described as tenderness and chronic.Symptoms were increasing.On an unknown date in (b)(6) 2017, after unknown latency, the complaint restricted

hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate patient was diagnosed with primary osteoarthritis of left knee, plantar fasciitis, bilateral, bilateral carpel tunnel syndrome right and left foot pain and pes planus of both feet.Patient was taking non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaid's) for pain.On (b)(6) 2018, patient presented for reevaluation to exclude an inflammatory arthritis.Patient was told that it was some kind of infection and was given antibiotics that cleared her elevated white count and it was now normal.Patient's left knee still hurts, pain in both hands was carpel tunnel syndrome and patient had flat feet and planar fasciitis being treated by podiatry.Patient had no evidence of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis at this point.Patient was to wear splints in the evening and was also given a new prescription for carpal tunnel splints.The seriousness criteria of hospitalization/prolongation for device malfunction, wasn't able to move my leg, wasn't able to walk

zofran injection, 40 mg oral pantoprazole tablet.On the same day, patient had tingling and numbness in left foot, knee pain was 9/10 on pain scale and left foot appeared swollen.Edema was extra-articular and appeared to be a inflammatory reaction in quadriceps tendon/muscle, possibly due to extra articular injection of synvisc.It was reported that acute pain now could represent local inflammatory reaction or a pseudoseptic reaction to injection.The patient received treatment with hydrocodone-acetomin 7.5 and meloxicam 15 mg just for pain.On (b)(6) 2017, patient had aspiration of left knee and 30 ml of clear blood tinged synovial fluid was aspirated.Fluid analysis was negative for crystals or bacteria but was positive for 13000 wbc and 15000 rbc.Patient tolerated the procedure well.On the same day, wbc count increased to 24.1.Patient was still afebrile, despite an increase in wbc count, presumably thought to be from high dose of solu-medrol received in emergency department on arrival (dose, frequency and indication: unknown).Patient was appearing non toxic.Suspect leukocytosis is reactive but could not rule out septic arthritis.There was no sign of infection or compartment syndrome.Her left knee pain improved and her range of motion also improved and she was able to ambulate with walker.Patient would be discharged with crutches, pain medication and rice therapy.Patient was cleared by orthopedic surgery for discharge home for outpatient follow up.On (b)(6) 2017, patient was discharged.More than a month patient used walker to get around.On an unknown

knee, could not sit on the floor and was not able to do any workout which she was able to do.On (b)(6) 2017, patient was reevaluated and reassessed for left knee.Patient complaint of constant stabbing, burning and throbbing pain in left knee.Patient had no relief from synvisc one injection.There was no signs of infection but she did had an effusion.Patient was aware that there was no evidence of infection from cultures taken at the hospital, cat scan taken at the hospital was normal, no evidence of abscess formation or damage to the quadriceps.Patient was able to single leg raise at this time indicating an intact extensor mechanism.On the same day, the left knee was aspirated of 35cc under sterile conditions.The patient tolerated the aspiration well and was aware to place an ice bag over the site tonight.The culture was sent for anaerobic, aerobic, gram stain, cell count and crystal analysis.Results were as follows: synovial fluid culture: no anaerobes recovered, gram stain: few poly morphonuclear cells (pmn's), moderate rbc's, no organisms, no growth at 4 days.Patient was given a prescription for a hinge brace.Patient would return for re-evaluation in 4 days.Patient's husband implied that the synvisc one injection was given directly into the quadriceps muscle, but there was no evidence of fluid or injury within the quadriceps.There was however evidence of fluid within the joint which was where the synvisc was injected.According to physician, this led to a reaction and this increased the production of fluid within her knee.Patient was advised to tell future doctors to never give her synvisc one because of this apparent reaction and was recommended that she should be given a brace prescription for her knee.On (b)(6) 2017, patient was reevaluated for left knee and still had pain in left knee.Patient was noted to have a moderate amount of effusion within the knee.No crepitation was noted beneath the kneecap with flexion and

pain in both hands was carpel tunnel syndrome and patient had flat feet and planar fasciitis being treated by podiatry.Patient had no evidence of inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis at this point.Patient was to wear splints in the evening and was also given a new prescription for carpal tunnel splints.Corrective treatment: walker for wasn't able to move my leg, wasn't able to walk for weeks; celecoxib (200 mg 1 capsule), ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice a day), hydrocodone acetaminophen (1 tablet a day) and meloxicam (15 mg; 1 tablet a day), hydrocodone bitartarate, paracetamol
