Question 1

What is Arthrosamid® and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Arthrosamid® is an innovative, non-biodegradable polyacrylamide treatment that's injected directly into your knee joint. It integrates with the synovial tissue, acting as a support that reduces friction and inflammation. Unlike hyaluronic acid injections that break down over months, Arthrosamid® provides sustained relief for up to 5+ years.

Question 2

Am I a suitable candidate for Arthrosamid® treatment?

Accepted Answer

Arthrosamid® is ideal for patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who haven't responded well to conservative treatments like physiotherapy or steroid injections. During your consultation, Mr S N Abbas will assess your condition, review imaging, and determine if Arthrosamid® is the right option for you.

Question 3

Is the procedure painful?

Accepted Answer

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel significant pain during the injection. Some patients experience mild discomfort or pressure. Any post-procedure soreness is typically minimal and resolves within a few days.

Question 4

How long does the procedure take?

Accepted Answer

The actual injection takes about 15 minutes. Including preparation and ultrasound guidance setup, your total appointment time is approximately 30-45 minutes. You can walk out of the clinic the same day.

Question 5

When will I feel the results?

Accepted Answer

Many patients notice some improvement within 24-48 hours. However, the full benefits typically develop over 4-12 weeks as the solution fully integrates with your joint tissue. Clinical studies show sustained pain relief for 5+ years post-treatment.

Question 6

Are there any side effects or risks?

Accepted Answer

Arthrosamid® has an excellent safety profile with over 20,000 patients treated globally. Common side effects include temporary swelling, stiffness, or mild pain at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Serious complications are rare.

Question 7

How much does Arthrosamid® treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

Treatment costs vary depending on individual circumstances. During your free consultation, we'll provide a detailed quote. DrSNA Clinic offers flexible payment options to make this life-changing treatment accessible.

Question 8

Can I have Arthrosamid® in both knees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many patients receive treatment in both knees. Depending on your situation, this can be done in the same session or staged across two appointments. Mr S N Abbas will recommend the best approach for your needs.
