Details.
A one-step injectable hydrogel implant treatment for symptomatic adult patients with knee osteoarthritis. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia by a qualified physician familiar with joint injections, sometimes with ultrasound guidance, and is completed as an outpatient treatment on the same day. Antibiotics may be given before treatment. The knee is cleaned, Arthrosamid is injected into the synovial cavity, and a plaster is placed over the injection site. Treatment may reduce knee pain, stiffness and improve knee function. It may not be suitable for everyone, and a doctor should advise on suitability.
