摘要:
A method of treatment of osteoarthritis is described, where a therapeutically effective amount of a composition having biodegradable microparticles in an aqueous vehicle is delivered into the intra-articular space of a joint. In one aspect, the microparticle-containing composition is injected into the synovial fluid-containing portion of an affected joint.
