Frequently asked questions
How is hyaluronic acid different from a steroid injection?
Steroid injections reduce inflammation quickly but the effect typically lasts 6–12 weeks. Hyaluronic acid lubricates and protects the joint, with benefit often lasting 6–12 months.
What is Arthrosamid®?
Arthrosamid® is a non-biodegradable hydrogel injected into the knee. A single injection can give years of pain relief for suitable patients with knee osteoarthritis.
How soon will I feel better?
Most patients notice improvement within 2–6 weeks. We'll review you at 6 weeks to assess response.
Are there side effects?
Mild soreness or swelling for 24–48 hours is common. Serious side effects are rare. We'll discuss everything in detail at your consultation.
