Private Knee Pain Clinic in London
Knee pain can make everyday movement harder. Walking, stairs, exercise, work, and sleep can all be affected when a knee keeps aching, swelling, or feeling unreliable. KneePainClinicUK helps people with persistent knee pain and knee osteoarthritis understand whether non-surgical treatment, including Arthrosamid injection, may be appropriate. Appointments are available in London, and suitability is confirmed only after clinical assessment. The first step is not choosing an injection. It is understanding your diagnosis, previous treatment, current symptoms, and realistic options.

Arthrosamid At A Glance
Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable hydrogel injection for suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis. It is made of 97.5% water and 2.5% polyacrylamide and is intended to integrate with the synovial tissue inside the knee. It is not a steroid injection, not hyaluronic acid, and not PRP. It is not a cure for arthritis and does not reverse joint damage. For suitable patients, it may help reduce pain, ease stiffness, and support better movement over time. Results vary.
How Does Arthrosamid Injection Work?
Arthrosamid injection works by providing mechanical cushioning inside the knee joint.
The treatment supports the knee joint by:
- Improving lubrication
- Reducing friction
- Supporting load distribution
- Minimising joint stress

Benefits of Arthrosamid Injection
Arthrosamid injection offers several potential advantages for patients with knee osteoarthritis who are seeking a non-surgical treatment option. As a hydrogel designed to integrate within the knee joint, Arthrosamid injection provides structural support that may help improve comfort and movement over time. While outcomes vary between individuals, many patients choose Arthrosamid injection in London because of its clinical design and minimally invasive approach. Below are the key potential benefits:
Long-Lasting Knee Pain Relief
Arthrosamid injection is designed to remain within the joint after treatment. Unlike temporary injections that break down over time, the hydrogel integrates with the synovial lining. This may provide sustained cushioning support within the knee joint and help reduce persistent pain associated with osteoarthritis. Many patients report gradual improvement in discomfort over the weeks following treatment.
Non-Surgical Treatment Option
For patients who wish to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery, Arthrosamid injection offers a non-surgical alternative. The procedure does not require general anaesthetic, hospital admission, or surgical incisions. This makes it an option worth considering for individuals exploring conservative management before surgery.
Minimally Invasive Procedure
The Arthrosamid injection procedure is performed using a fine needle under sterile clinical conditions. It is typically completed within approximately 30 minutes and does not involve complex surgical intervention. The minimally invasive nature of the treatment helps reduce procedural risk compared to major surgery.
No Hospital Stay Required
Arthrosamid injection is carried out in a clinical setting, and patients return home the same day. There is no need for overnight hospital admission, which makes it convenient for many individuals.
Short Recovery Period
Most patients are able to resume light daily activities shortly after the injection. While strenuous activity may need to be limited temporarily, recovery is generally quicker compared to surgical procedures. Your doctor will provide personalised aftercare advice based on your specific condition.
Designed to Remain Within the Joint
One of the key characteristics of Arthrosamid injection is that the hydrogel integrates within the synovial membrane of the knee. This allows it to remain in place rather than being rapidly absorbed, supporting long-term mechanical cushioning within the joint.
Arthrosamid Injection vs Other Knee Treatments
Arthrosamid Injection vs Steroid Injection
Steroid injections aim to reduce inflammation and may provide short-term relief. Repeat injections may be required.
Arthrosamid injection provides structural cushioning rather than temporary anti-inflammatory effect.
Arthrosamid Injection vs Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Hyaluronic acid injections aim to improve lubrication but gradually break down.
Arthrosamid injection integrates within the synovial lining and is designed to remain in place.
Arthrosamid Injection vs Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery is a major surgical procedure with hospital admission and longer recovery.
Arthrosamid injection is a minimally invasive treatment that may be considered before surgery in suitable patients.
Is Arthrosamid Injection Safe?
Arthrosamid injection is CE marked and has been used in clinical practice across the UK and Europe.
As with any joint injection, potential side effects may include:
- Temporary swelling
- Mild discomfort
- Injection site tenderness
- Rare risk of infection
Your doctor will discuss risks and benefits during consultation. Careful sterile technique and appropriate patient selection help reduce complications.
