Popis: Purpose: To decide efficacy of TA vs HA in osteoarthritic patients. Most treatment modalities provide symptomatic relief but intra articular injections with TA and HA probably have the potential of altering the course of the disease. Methods: 60 subjects attending the study scheduled to be given the defined intra articular injection were enrolled as per the study selection criteria. Results: Mean age of cases in TA group was 57 years while it was 58.5 years for cases in HA group (p-0.322). Mean VAS score was comparable between TA and HA group at baseline (p-0.313). After 1 week of intra-articular injection, pain reduction was more in TA group as compared to HA (p0.05). By the end of 1 year, VAS score was comparable to baseline in TA group (p-0.81) while it was still significantly lower than baseline in HA group (p
