Knee osteoarthritis is a painful condition that occurs when shock-absorbing cartilage degrades over time, causing the bones to rub together. The resulting inflammation is believed to be the cause of pain, which typically increases as damage to the knee joint worsens.

Although chronic inflammation can be managed with OTC medications, long-term use of these products may cause unwanted side effects such as stomach ulcers and kidney damage. For this reason, many medical professionals are recommending arthrosamid as an alternative treatment for individuals who want to delay knee replacement surgery for as long as possible.

Arthrosamid is a treatment that has been in development for over 20 years and is now approved for use in the European market. As MSK Doctors explains, it is named for its non-biodegradable hydrogel technology, which is injected into the knee during treatments. This hydrogel combines permanently with the synovial membrane to provide cushioning and mechanical support for the joint, alleviating pain caused by inflammation and improving the patient’s range of motion.

Because of the non-biodegradable nature of the hydrogel, arthrosamid provides longer-lasting relief than hyaluronic and corticosteroid injections; several clinical trials have suggested that the effects of the treatment can last for at least two years. Moreover, arthrosamid has a positive safety profile, with no lasting side effects observed among patients who have taken part in long-term prospective studies.

According to MSK Doctors’ guide, arthrosamid typically costs $1,500 to $3,000 per injection, but because it is a one-time treatment with sustained results, patients will potentially save money that would otherwise be spent on physiotherapy or medications. Additionally, some insurance plans may partially or completely cover the cost of an injection, making it a more affordable option than many treatments.

Arthrosamid is currently offered at select private clinics affiliated with MSK Doctors. Patients interested in the treatment are encouraged to contact the practice for a consultation.
