Who Can Have Arthrosamid—and Who Shouldn’t?

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.
