MSK Doctors (03300010048) has announced a new guide to arthrosamid knee injections for osteoarthritis, covering aftercare options for patients.
-- The newly published guide outlines the mechanics behind arthrosamid injections and why they are a viable option for knee osteoarthritis patients who want to improve their quality of life but delay total knee replacement surgery for as long as possible. Individuals who plan on getting an injection can also refer to MSK Doctors’ resources for aftercare recommendations.

Arthrosamid is an injectable synthetic hydrogel that is developed to provide knee osteoarthritis patients with long-lasting pain relief. The treatment consists of a one-time injection performed under local anaesthesia, and the procedure is completed within the same day. During the appointment, an orthopaedic surgeon, rheumatologist, or another similarly qualified physician will inject the patient’s knee with the gel, where it will integrate with the tissue lining the knee joint.
MSK Doctors’ guide says that because the gel is synthetic, it will not be absorbed by the body, instead remaining permanently attached to the joint and providing cushioning and mechanical support for the knee. This characteristic makes arthrosamid significantly longer-lasting than other types of knee injections; studies cited by the guide have found that the pain relief resulting from the treatment can last for at least two years following an appointment, compared to the short-term effects of hyaluronic and corticosteroid injections.
Additionally, because arthrosamid is a minimally invasive procedure, patients can expect shorter recovery times and fewer side effects compared to knee surgeries. Some may experience pain or swelling at the injection site, but this is usually transient in nature and can be alleviated by applying ice. Overall, patients typically will only require a few days of rest before they can begin gradually returning to their daily activities.
To ensure proper recovery, MSK Doctors’ guide advises readers who are planning to receive an arthrosamid injection to avoid strenuous exercises, such as tennis or long walks, for the first few weeks after their appointment. Low-impact activities, including swimming or cycling, are strongly recommended instead, along with rehabilitation exercises that focus specifically on strengthening the knee.
MSK Doctors’ guide notes that it’s also important for patients to schedule regular follow-up appointments with their physician to ensure they receive professional guidance on the appropriate aftercare.
