The Founder of MSK Doctors, Professor Paul Lee MBBch, MRCS, MFSEM (UK), MSc (Sports Med), PhD, FEBOT, FRCS (Tr & Orth), is pleased to now be treating patients who have knee arthritis with Arthrosamid, which is also known as Polyacrylamide (PAAG) hydrogel. This synthetic hydrogel is an effective new alternative to hyaluronic acid that has shown significant promise in patient trials.

While the specialised surgical team at MSK Doctors can offer their patients full knee replacement or arthroplasty surgeries, which are often required in cases of severe knee osteoarthritis, they prefer less invasive interventions where possible, and they believe that Arthrosamid offers significant benefits for many patients.

As a spokesperson for the clinic explained, this synthetic hydrogel, when injected into the knee joint, adheres itself to the synovial membrane. That is, to the thin layer of connective tissue that lines one’s knee joint, protecting it and allowing it to move smoothly. Compellingly, once it has been adhered to this membrane, it has been shown to not only reinforce it but to encourage its natural regeneration.

As MSK Doctors’ spokesperson said, “Arthrosamid presents a promising and innovative treatment option for knee osteoarthritis. Its unique mechanism of action, involving the provision of a scaffold for the synovial membrane, offers a new avenue for tissue regeneration.”

As such, the clinic is pleased to be an early adopter of the technology, which has been positively associated with significantly reduced pain and inflammation and with improved mobility and stability—lasting, under study, for six months up to at least one year. It has also been shown to help treat connected conditions like Patellofemoral Bone Marrow Lesions.

The clinic’s spokesperson added, “Clinical studies and real-world patient stories corroborate Arthrosamid’s efficacy, safety, and long-term benefits. Comparative studies have also highlighted its superior performance against traditional treatments like hyaluronic acid. With a high level of confidence supported by extensive research and patient testimonials, Arthrosamid is poised to make a significant impact in the field of orthopaedic surgery and regenerative medicine.”
