MSK Doctors (03300010048), a London-based private practice that offers surgical and non-surgical treatments for musculoskeletal disorders, has released a guide on arthrosamid injections and traditional knee osteoarthritis treatments.
-- The newly published guide compares the effectiveness of arthrosamid hydrogel injections to corticosteroid injections and other traditional treatments for osteoarthritis symptom management, examining the mechanics of each treatment, how long their effects last, and the advantages and disadvantages of specific options.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative musculoskeletal condition that affects millions of people worldwide. The condition develops when protective cartilage cushioning the joints wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. The knee is the most common body part to be affected by osteoarthritis, with the World Health Organization estimating that over 365 million individuals suffer from the condition.
A number of standard treatments for knee osteoarthritis are available, including over-the-counter medications, physiotherapy, and joint replacement surgery. MSK Doctors says that many patients also turn to knee injections for pain relief, among which corticosteroid injections are a common choice. However, arthrosamid injections are emerging as an additional long-term non-surgical treatment option due to promising results from many clinical trials.
With arthrosamid, MSK Doctors’ guide says that a synthetic hydrogel is injected into the knee joint, where it permanently fuses with the synovial membrane and provides cushioning and support for the joint, effectively addressing the mechanical cause of pain and stiffness. Because the hydrogel is non-biodegradable, it remains attached to the joint, offering longer-lasting relief compared to corticosteroid injections, which only provide patients with temporary inflammation reduction. Additionally, prolonged use of corticosteroids and NSAIDs can lead to gastrointestinal issues and joint degradation, whereas arthrosamid is inert and poses little risk of side effects.
As an injection, arthrosamid is also much less invasive, making it a viable option for individuals who want to avoid surgery. Moreover, the nature of the treatment results in less recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily lives more quickly.
However, MSK Doctors’ guide notes that most traditional treatments can be used to address various stages of osteoarthritis, whereas arthrosamid is more beneficial for individuals with moderate osteoarthritis. Patients are therefore encouraged to contact their healthcare provider or MSK Doctors directly to determine which treatment is most appropriate for their condition.
