We read with great interest the study by Lee et al. titled
“Effect of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Versus
Intra-articular Injections of Hyaluronic Acid for the
Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis. The authors were
able to evaluate and compare the effects and outcomes
of the extracorporeal shock wave therapy and intraarticular
injections of hyaluronic acid in patients with
knee osteoarthritis. This research is considered relevant
and interesting, especially because it is noted that the
authors compare an invasive therapy, such the intraarticular
injections, with the administration of an extracorporeal
show wave therapy, which is notably a kind
of therapy that does not involve the interruption of the
integrity of the skin. It is noted that the results from the
study are promising from a clinical aspect
