In More Detail

Hydrogel injections, such as Arthrosamid, are an innovative treatment designed to alleviate knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable, polyacrylamide hydrogel that integrates into the soft tissue of the knee joint. Upon injection, the hydrogel cushions the joint by increasing the volume and viscosity of the synovial fluid, providing long-lasting lubrication and shock absorption.

The hydrogel has a dual function: its water content hydrates and lubricates the joint, while its polymer structure provides mechanical stability. This unique combination reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and improves joint mobility. Unlike traditional treatments, Arthrosamid is minimally invasive and does not degrade over time, offering sustained relief with fewer repeat procedures.

By enhancing the joint’s natural cushioning system, Arthrosamid helps patients regain mobility and reduce their reliance on pain medication, making it a promising option for managing knee osteoarthritis symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are hydrogel injections, and how do they work?

Hydrogel injection, such as Arthrosamid, are a treatment for knee osteoarthritis. They consist of a soft, non-biodegradable gel injected into the joint. The hydrogel integrates with the surrounding tissue, providing long-lasting lubrication and cushioning to reduce pain and improve mobility.

2. How long does the Arthrosamid injection last?

Arthrosamid is designed for long-term relief. Unlike some treatments, it doesn’t degrade over time. Many patients experience significant improvement in symptoms for up to several years after a single injection. Clinical Trials have shown that most patients experience up to 4 years pain relief.

3. What can I expect during and after the procedure?

One hour before treatment, you will need to take a prescribed antibiotic. The injection is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience little discomfort during the procedure and can return to normal activities within a few days.

4. Who is a good candidate for Arthrosamid injections?

This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who seek pain relief and improved joint function without surgery.

About

Conditions Treated

Hydrogel injections, such as Arthrosamid, are primarily used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee. This condition is characterized by the gradual breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Arthrosamid addresses these symptoms by providing cushioning and lubrication within the joint, alleviating discomfort and improving function. Patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, who experience persistent joint pain, inflammation, or difficulty with daily activities, may benefit most from this treatment. By reducing pressure on the affected joint, hydrogel injections help restore mobility and enhance the overall quality of life for those struggling with knee osteoarthritis.
