The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of knee joints in patients with early osteoarthritis (OA, according to the criteria of the American rheumatology Association 2010) stage I-III using visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain intensity and treatment outcomes, Lequesne index, expert indicators, samples of 4 meter walk to assess the effectiveness of intra-articular injection Hyaluronic Chondro. 80 patients aged 28 to 55 years were examined. The treatment regimen included recommendations from the European rheumatology League (EULAR, 2016) and Russia (Nasonov E. L., 2017). The results of therapy were evaluated in two groups.
