Arthrosamid Injections for Knee Osteoarthritis
Dr Owen Wall discusses the latest development in osteoarthritis treatment, available now in Leeds and Yorkshire
Are you struggling with knee osteoarthritis? There's a groundbreaking, non-surgical treatment now available that is redefining treatment for patients living with knee pain.
Knee osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. While joint replacement surgery is effective, it is also a major invasive procedure with a lengthy recovery period. But now, there's an alternative.
Mr Owen Wall of Leeds Knee Clinic is a highly experienced consultant orthopaedic surgeon based at
Spire Leeds and other
knee clinics across Yorkshire, specialising in knee and sports-related injuries. Known for his expertise in advanced knee surgery and personalised patient care, he supports everyone from
elite athletes to active individuals in returning safely to the activities they enjoy.
Mr Wall offers a unique treatment called Arthrosamid, a non-biodegradable injectable polyacrylamide hydrogel (2.5% iPAAG) implant consisting of 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide and 97.5% water. It is administered via a simple, one-step procedure performed under local anaesthesia, utilising ultrasound guidance by Mr Owen Wall, ensuring you’re in and out of the clinic the same day. Arthrosamid is proven to maintain a significant, long-lasting reduction in knee OA pain, even five years post-treatment.
This is the first and only permanent injectable implant that integrates with the knee's synovial tissue, forming a scaffold that softens and increases tissue elasticity, leading to decreased joint stiffness, reduced pain, and improved knee function.
In a box
- Over 20 years of research and development.
- Safe and effective for its intended use, even five years post-treatment.
- Around 1,200,000 syringes of 2.5% iPAAG made for human use.
Owen says: “This unique and novel treatment is an excellent option for suitable patients with early to advanced arthritis of the knee that want to maintain an active sporting lifestyle and feel that they are not quite at the stage where they wish to consider interventional surgical options. Data supports excellent symptom reduction for up to two plus years, with the benefit of retaining excellent knee function, and can be repeated if the initial outcome is positive. If you have symptomatic knee arthritis and wish to discuss your treatment options, please book to see me for a personalised and tailored approach.”
