Arthrosamid® Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis

Long-Lasting Relief from Knee Pain Without Surgery

If knee osteoarthritis is affecting your mobility, comfort, and quality of life, Arthrosamid® offers an innovative non-surgical treatment designed to provide long-lasting pain relief with a single injection.

At Young Orthopaedics, we offer Arthrosamid® injections for patients seeking an effective alternative to repeated steroid injections or knee replacement surgery. This advanced hydrogel treatment is designed to reduce pain, improve joint function, and help you return to everyday activities with greater confidence.

What is Arthrosamid®?

Arthrosamid® is a unique injectable hydrogel implant developed specifically for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Composed of 97.5% water and 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide, it integrates into the soft tissues lining the knee joint to provide cushioning, support, and long-term pain relief.

Unlike traditional injections that may wear off after a few months, Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel that remains within the joint, offering sustained benefits over an extended period. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvements in pain and knee function that can last for years following treatment.

How Does Arthrosamid® Work?

When injected into the knee joint, Arthrosamid® becomes integrated within the synovial membrane, the tissue that lines the joint capsule. This integration helps restore elasticity to the joint lining, improves cushioning, and supports smoother joint movement.

By improving the mechanical environment within the knee, Arthrosamid® helps:

  • Reduce osteoarthritis-related pain
  • Improve knee mobility and flexibility
  • Decrease joint stiffness
  • Enhance daily function and quality of life
  • Provide long-lasting symptom relief with a single treatment

Benefits of Arthrosamid®

Long-Lasting Pain Relief

Many patients experience meaningful pain reduction within weeks of treatment, with benefits shown to continue for several years.

Minimally Invasive

The procedure is performed using a simple injection and does not require surgery or hospital admission.

One-Time Treatment

Unlike treatments that require multiple sessions, Arthrosamid® is delivered through a single injection.

Fast Recovery

Most patients can return home shortly after treatment and resume normal activities within a short period, following their consultant's advice.

Alternative to Surgery

For many patients, Arthrosamid® provides an effective option before considering knee replacement surgery.

What Happens During Treatment?

Arthrosamid® treatment is carried out as an outpatient procedure.

The treatment typically involves:

  1. Clinical assessment and suitability review
  2. Local anaesthetic to maximise comfort
  3. Ultrasound-guided injection into the knee joint
  4. Short observation period before going home

The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes and does not require an overnight hospital stay.

Who is Suitable for Arthrosamid®?

Arthrosamid® may be suitable for patients who:

  • Have mild, moderate, or severe knee osteoarthritis
  • Experience persistent knee pain despite physiotherapy or medication
  • Wish to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery
  • Have not achieved adequate relief from steroid or hyaluronic acid injections
  • Want a minimally invasive treatment option

A consultation with our orthopaedic specialist will determine whether Arthrosamid® is the right treatment for your individual condition.

Recovery After Arthrosamid®

Most patients can walk immediately after treatment, although it is generally recommended to reduce strenuous activities for a short period following the injection.

You may experience mild tenderness, swelling, or discomfort around the injection site, which typically settles within a few days. Clinical evidence suggests that many patients begin to notice improvements within four weeks, with maximum benefits often developing over the following months.
