Arthrosamid
More comfortable knees, without surgery.
Arthrosamid is a single hydrogel injection for knee osteoarthritis. It cushions the lining of the joint to ease pain and stiffness, helping you move more comfortably in everyday life - without surgery and without a long recovery.
How Arthrosamid helps
A cushion that stays put
The water-based gel settles into the tissue lining the knee joint, adding cushioning where it is needed. Unlike a steroid injection it is not absorbed, so the cushioning is designed to last.
One visit, no surgery
Treatment is a single outpatient injection with local anaesthetic. Most people are back to their usual routine quickly - none of the recovery time surgery involves.
Newer treatment, three years in my clinics
Arthrosamid is a newer option, and I have been using it for three years. UK five- and ten-year results are still being gathered - I will talk you through the evidence honestly so you can decide with confidence.
Is it right for you?
If knee pain is holding you back, Arthrosamid may be worth considering. We will look at your symptoms and scans together - suitability is always discussed in clinic before any treatment.
