Introduction Not everyone is a candidate for Arthrosamid. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand whether it might be right for you.
Who Can Have It
- Adults with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis
- Those unsuitable or unwilling to undergo surgery
- Patients who haven’t responded to simpler treatments
- Individuals looking for long-term pain relief without repeated injections
Who Shouldn’t Have It
- Patients with severe (bone-on-bone) arthritis where joint space is nearly gone
- Active knee infections or systemic infection
- Allergy to polyacrylamide (very rare)
- People who have had previous knee replacements in the same joint
Conclusion Your orthopaedic surgeon will help determine suitability. A proper diagnosis is essential for the best results. Imaging, such as X-rays or MRI, is key in evaluating whether Arthrosamid is likely to be effective.
