Living with knee osteoarthritis (knee OA) can turn the simplest daily activities into real challenges. The pain and stiffness that come with this condition often make moving around—whether walking, standing, or climbing stairs—feel difficult and exhausting. For many, the ability to move with ease again and regain confidence in everyday life is a vital goal. Arthrosamid is an innovative treatment designed to help those living with persistent knee discomfort, supporting improved movement and a better quality of life.
Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint condition where the cartilage protecting the knee gradually wears down over time. This leads to symptoms like pain, swelling, and stiffness that can disrupt day-to-day activities. Simple tasks such as walking or standing can become painful, sometimes causing people to avoid movement altogether. This can damage a person’s confidence and independence. That’s why finding reliable, comfortable relief is so important—not only to ease pain but also to help people stay active and engaged in the things they enjoy.
Arthrosamid offers a fresh, effective way to manage knee OA symptoms through a single, precisely targeted injection. This treatment uses a special gel—known as polyacrylamide hydrogel—that attaches to the lining of the knee joint. As one study explains, the gel “adheres to and bulks up the synovial membrane and acts as a scaffold to treat the synovium,” which helps soothe the joint. Clinical research has shown promising results, highlighting “statistically significant improvements at one year post injection,” proving that Arthrosamid provides long-lasting relief that helps patients regain mobility.
The benefits of Arthrosamid often go beyond simply reducing pain. Many patients find that they can move more freely throughout their day with less discomfort, sleep better because they experience less pain, and return to hobbies and social activities they had put aside. Importantly, the treatment has a reassuring safety record, with studies stating that “injection of PAAG hydrogel into the knee has been shown to be safe with no long-lasting adverse events reported.” This combination of sustained comfort and safety can make a real difference to a person’s confidence and independence.
At the London Cartilage Clinic, expert care is at the heart of every patient’s journey. Led by Professor Paul Lee—an experienced orthopaedic surgeon and rehabilitation specialist who also serves as a Cartilage Expert, RSA, and Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Ambassador—the clinic offers personalised assessment and treatment plans. Patients benefit from an environment that is both professional and supportive, helping them take confident steps towards improved movement and lasting comfort.
To sum up, Arthrosamid provides a valuable option for those living with knee osteoarthritis, offering lasting relief that encourages everyday comfort and renewed confidence. As highlighted in research, “this PAAG hydrogel seems to be an efficacious and safe treatment option for knee OA and provides positive results for at least two years.” While individual results may vary, Arthrosamid presents many with the opportunity to regain their independence and enjoy a more active life once again. Of course, any treatment decisions should always be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional. For personalised advice, please consult your healthcare provider.
