Recovery Times After Arthrosamid Hydrogel Knee Injections For OA: Guide Released

Following the recent introduction of Arthrosamid into the European market, MSK Doctors has published its guide to cover the mechanics behind the treatment and how it can help individuals manage pain and mobility issues caused by knee osteoarthritis. In the guide, MSK Doctors also examines recovery time and how long patients can expect the effects of Arthrosamid to last compared to other non-surgical knee osteoarthritis treatments.

Although the causes of knee osteoarthritis remain unclear, MSK Doctors says that synovitis is known to play an important role in disease progression. Synovitis, which is the inflammation of any synovial membrane, can affect the knee joint and has been linked to the exacerbation of cartilage loss in symptomatic and asymptomatic knees. This suggests that treatments that target synovial inflammation in the early stages of osteoarthritis can slow the progression of the disease and potentially prevent complete degeneration of the cartilage.

Because of its mechanics, Arthrosamid is emerging as a novel treatment that can address both synovitis and knee osteoarthritis without surgery. As MSK Doctors’ guide explains, the treatment consists of a hydrogel that is injected into the knee joint, where it fuses with the synovial membrane and provides it with structural support, lubrication, and cushioning. This reduces pain and inflammation, which may also slow the body’s production of proinflammatory mediators that can break down the cartilage.

Additionally, the hydrogel is non-biodegradable and will not be absorbed into the body, leading to longer-lasting pain relief. Prospective studies have shown that a single Arthrosamid injection can reduce pain for at least two years, compared to the effects of hyaluronic acid injections, which only last for six months. Moreover, no infections or allergic reactions were observed in patients who have received the injection, indicating that the treatment is safe and effective.

As a non-invasive treatment, Arthrosamid has notably short recovery times, and the procedure is completed within the same day, typically within 45 minutes. While patients will be able to walk immediately, they will also be advised to avoid high-impact activities for the first few days after their appointment to prevent complications.
