What is Arthrosamid Injection?
Arthrosamid injection is a type of treatment used primarily in orthopedic and aesthetic medicine. It is a non-resorbable hydrogel implant used to treat joint pain by providing cushioning and reducing inflammation. Additionally, Arthrosamid is sometimes used in aesthetic procedures for soft tissue augmentation.
How Does Arthrosamid Injection Work?
The injection involves administering a sterile gel into the affected joint or soft tissue. This gel acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, helping to restore mobility and reduce pain. In joint therapy, it supports cartilage function and provides mechanical relief.
Conditions Treated with Arthrosamid Injection
Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
Chronic joint pain
Soft tissue defects or volume loss (in cosmetic applications)
Inflammation related to joint wear and tear
Benefits of Arthrosamid Injection
Long-lasting relief from joint pain
Minimally invasive procedure
Improves joint function and mobility
Reduced need for oral pain medication
Can be used as an alternative to surgery in some cases
The Arthrosamid Injection Procedure
Consultation and Assessment: The doctor evaluates your condition and determines if Arthrosamid is suitable.
Preparation: The injection site is cleaned, and local anesthesia may be applied.
Injection: Using ultrasound or imaging guidance, the gel is injected into the joint or targeted tissue.
Post-Injection Care: Patients are advised to rest the joint and avoid strenuous activities for a short period.
Possible Side Effects and Risks
Mild pain or swelling at the injection site
Temporary stiffness or discomfort
Allergic reactions (rare)
Infection (very rare if sterile technique is maintained)
Limited mobility if injected improperly
Who Should Avoid Arthrosamid Injections?
Patients with infections at the injection site
Individuals allergic to hydrogel components
Pregnant or breastfeeding women (consult your doctor)
Those with certain autoimmune conditions (doctor’s discretion)
Recovery and Aftercare
After receiving Arthrosamid injections, patients may experience slight discomfort, but most return to normal activities within a few days. Follow-up visits help monitor progress and decide if additional injections are needed.
How Long Does Arthrosamid Injection Last?
The effects of Arthrosamid can last from several months up to a year, depending on the treated condition and patient response. Unlike resorbable gels, Arthrosamid is designed for longer durability.
Cost of Arthrosamid Injection
The cost varies based on location, clinic, and number of injections required. Insurance coverage may be limited depending on the treatment indication.
Conclusion
Arthrosamid injection is an effective, minimally invasive treatment option for joint pain relief and soft tissue augmentation. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if it is the right choice for your condition.
