Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in joint fluid that contributes to the lubrication and cushioning of the joint.
A hyaluronic acid (or "gel") injection — sometimes called viscosupplementation — aims to supplement this lubrication in people with knee osteoarthritis. For some patients, this may help with comfort and movement.
Suitability varies between individuals and is determined after a clinical assessment. Hyaluronic acid injections do not regenerate cartilage or cure arthritis.
We offer a range of injection products, selected individually following clinical assessment.
A hyaluronic acid injection used in joints, including the knee, to supplement the joint's natural lubrication.
A high-dose formulation containing 120 mg of pure sodium hyaluronate — the option we most often recommend following assessment.
A hyaluronic acid injection delivered as a single treatment for knee osteoarthritis.
A single injection that combines a corticosteroid with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid combined with chondroitin sulphate.
The most appropriate injection — and the right time to have it — depends on your diagnosis, symptoms and imaging findings. All options are discussed with you during your consultation.
Arthrosamid is a polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection. Unlike hyaluronic acid products, it is not a supplement to joint fluid — it is a hydrogel that is designed to remain within the knee joint, where it cushions the space between the bone surfaces.
It is given as a single injection. As with any injection therapy, suitability is determined following a clinical assessment, and the potential benefits and risks will be discussed with you in full before any treatment.
A clinical assessment is required to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
