Patients exploring nonsurgical, non-invasive alternatives to traditional total knee replacement can read the report to understand the procedure and how it can be used to manage the disease.

Osteoarthritis can affect any part of the body, but the knee is the most frequently impacted joint, with numbers from the World Health Organization stating that over 365 million people were living with knee osteoarthritis as of 2019. Although the factors that cause the disease to manifest and progress are still unclear, clinical scans and biochemical tests by the British Society for Rheumatology point toward inflammation as the primary cause of pain. For this reason, MSK Doctors’ report says that arthrosamid injections are effective at reducing pain due to the mechanisms of the treatment.

During a typical arthrosamid procedure, a synthetic hydrogel is injected into the knee joint, where it permanently attaches to the synovial membrane, thickening the layer of tissue lining the joint. Because the hydrogel provides more cushioning, it decreases friction between bones and provides more mechanical support to the knee, reducing inflammation and improving functionality. Some prospective studies, which are cited in MSK Doctors’ report, have examined the efficacy of arthrosamid, with results suggesting that the treatment can lead to a reduction in symptoms for six months to a year after the initial injection; other studies have shown that the positive effects of the treatment will be present for at least two years – a much longer time period than the effects of hyaluronic injections.

Having provided many arthrosamid injections to patients, MSK Doctors has developed a unique injection process that improves patient outcomes and lowers the chances of side effects. This novel process also significantly reduces recovery time, allowing patients to quickly return to sports and other daily activities.

Individuals who suffer from knee osteoarthritis pain that can no longer be relieved by OTC medication or physical therapy may be eligible for the procedure, and they are encouraged to contact the practice for more details.
