From Prof Paul Lee
Five years of Arthrosamid® outcomes, in two minutes
Professor Paul Y.F. Lee summarises what the last five years of Arthrosamid® patient outcomes at London Cartilage Clinic show, who responds best, which factors predict 24-month benefit, and when a combination pathway is the better call.
Watch this before you take the suitability assessment below, it makes the questions a lot more meaningful.
How This Self-Assessment Works
Eight questions
Around three minutes. Each question maps to a clinical predictor of 24-month improvement, with patient expectations weighted more heavily than the rest.
Knee OA focused
Built specifically for patients considering Arthrosamid® for knee osteoarthritis. Other joints and treatments are discussed at consultation rather than scored here.
Shared decision
The result is a stratification score and an interpretation, not a diagnosis or a clinical recommendation. Final decisions follow a consultation with Prof Lee.

Clinical Disclaimer (Arthrosamid® Suitability Questionnaire)
The Arthrosamid® Suitability Questionnaire and its associated scoring system are provided for information and shared decision-making purposes only. The tool has been developed from our own independent clinical study and real-world clinical experience within our specialist clinic, including an expanding cohort now exceeding 600 patients, and reflects outcomes achieved using our specific protocols and patient population.
The questionnaire does not constitute medical advice, does not provide diagnosis or treatment recommendations, and must not be used in isolation or generalised to other clinicians, centres, or settings. Scores represent an indicative estimate of potential clinical benefit, not a guarantee of outcome, and individual results may vary. Final clinical decisions should always be made following appropriate specialist consultation, clinical examination, imaging review, and informed discussion, in line with UK regulatory and medico-legal standards.
