MSK Doctors (03300010048), a private London-based practice that specialises in treating musculoskeletal issues, has announced that it will be offering arthrosamid injections to provide relief for knee osteoarthritis.
-- The recently announced treatment is recommended as an alternative, minimally invasive solution for individuals who suffer from pain caused by knee osteoarthritis but are unwilling to undergo total knee replacement surgery. Because the practice operates privately, patients will not require a referral to book an appointment.

Osteoarthritis is one of the fastest-growing causes of disability worldwide, according to an article published in the Osteoarthritis and Cartilage journal. In the knee, osteoarthritis occurs when the shock-absorbing cartilage is worn away and the bones begin rubbing together, causing long-term pain, swelling, and stiffness. The condition invariably worsens over time, leading to loss of knee function, which in turn often leads to disability and lower quality of life.
Another study in F1000 Research notes that no therapies have been able to halt the progression of osteoarthritis, and most treatments simply focus on relieving the pain through exercise, physiotherapy, viscosupplement injections, and pain relief medication. Total knee replacement surgery is only recommended when the aforementioned treatments no longer provide any relief. However, MSK Doctors says that individuals who are anxious about surgery or concerned about postoperative side effects can also consider arthrosamid injections, which have been shown to be effective in clinical trials.
With an arthrosamid injection, a specialized polyacrylamide hydrogel is injected into the knee joint, where it combines permanently with the tissue. This thickens the tissue and provides more cushioning for the joint, reducing pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis. Because of the non-degradable nature of the hydrogel, the treatment provides longer-lasting relief compared to hyaluronic acid injections, which typically only have noticeable effects in the first six months; by contrast, clinical trials have shown that a single arthrosamid injection can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain for at least two years.
Individuals interested in receiving an arthrosamid injection for knee osteoarthritis are encouraged to contact MSK Doctors. Upon booking the appointment, one of the practice’s consultant orthopaedic surgeons will meet with the patient to discuss whether the treatment is suitable for them. Should the patient decide to proceed, they will be able to receive the injection at one of MSK Doctors’ affiliated private clinics.
