Introducing Arthrosamid®

Introducing Arthrosamid®: A Groundbreaking Injectable Treatment Now Available at Wessex Knee

At Wessex Knee, we’re always looking for the latest, most effective ways to help you live an active, pain-free life. That’s why we’re excited to announce our newest service — the Arthrosamid® injectable hydrogel treatment, now available under the expert care of Mr Mark Frame, our consultant orthopaedic knee surgeon with over 11 years’ experience.

So, what is Arthrosamid® — and why is it such a breakthrough for knee osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis of the knee affects millions worldwide, causing pain, stiffness, and limiting everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or simply standing up. Traditional treatments like painkillers, steroid injections, or physiotherapy sometimes provide only temporary relief, and surgery can be a daunting step.

Arthrosamid® changes that landscape. It’s a unique, non-biodegradable polyacrylamide hydrogel injected directly into the knee joint. Unlike steroid or hyaluronic acid injections that often last a few months, Arthrosamid® integrates permanently into the joint lining — cushioning, supporting, and reducing inflammation for years after just one injection.

Clinical studies back these claims strongly. In a recent trial, patients reported significant pain relief and improved knee function sustained for up to 10 years, with a safety profile that’s excellent and well-documented (Baer et al., 2021; Overgaard et al., 2024). This means many patients can delay or even avoid knee replacement surgery altogether.

What to expect from the treatment?The procedure is quick, simple, and performed as an outpatient service. After a thorough consultation, the injection itself usually takes less than an hour, with minimal discomfort thanks to local anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day and experience only mild soreness or stiffness afterward — normal reactions that typically resolve quickly.

The cost of this innovative treatment is £2,950, which includes consultation, the injection, and all follow-up care — a comprehensive package designed to give you peace of mind every step of the way.

At Wessex Knee, Mr Frame combines cutting-edge research with compassionate care. His focus on minimally invasive knee treatments and pioneering use of technology means you’re in expert hands.

If you’re struggling with knee osteoarthritis and looking for a long-lasting, non-surgical solution, Arthrosamid® might be the answer you’ve been waiting for.
