Arthrosamid® is a novel, non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), offering long-term pain relief through a single injection. Unlike traditional treatments that may require multiple sessions, Arthrosamid® provides sustained benefits, potentially lasting up to three years.
Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel composed of 97.5% water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide. When injected into the knee joint, it integrates with the synovial tissue, acting as a cushioning and lubricating agent. This integration helps reduce friction, alleviate pain, and improve joint mobility.
Arthrosamid® is suitable for individuals with knee osteoarthritis who have not responded adequately to conservative treatments and are seeking a non-surgical option. However, it may not be appropriate for those with certain conditions, such as active infections or allergies to components of the hydrogel. A thorough assessment by a healthcare professional is essential to determine eligibility.
At The Vesey, our experienced clinicians perform Arthrosamid® injections using ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and patients can typically resume normal activities within a few days.
Post-procedure care is crucial for optimal outcomes. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for 48 hours following the injection. Light movement is encouraged to promote joint mobility. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
a study published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage in 2021 found that over 70% of patients experienced a significant reduction in pain and improvement in physical function at 6 months, with benefits maintained beyond one year.
