Introduction Safety is a key concern when trying new treatments. Here’s what you need to know about Arthrosamid’s risk profile.
Common Side Effects Mild swelling, stiffness, or joint warmth may occur after injection. These usually settle within a few days. Some patients experience a sensation of fullness in the joint, but this generally improves quickly.
Rare Complications Infection, allergic reaction, or persistent inflammation are extremely rare but possible. All patients are screened to minimise risk. The procedure is performed under sterile conditions, and antibiotics are not routinely required.
Is It Safe Long-Term? Because the hydrogel remains in the joint permanently, long-term studies have carefully monitored safety, with no significant complications reported. Unlike repeated steroid injections, there is no known detrimental effect on cartilage or joint structures.
Conclusion Arthrosamid has an excellent safety record. It’s a low-risk option compared to surgery and often safer than repeated steroid injections. Always consult a qualified orthopaedic consultant to assess individual suitability.
