Yes, it is possible to have both knees treated with Arthrosamid® but your physician is best placed to decide the time-period before the treatments.
No therapies have been able to satisfactorily halt or delay OA progression or provide effective, long-lasting symptomatic relief for patients with knee OA. So, until now, treatments have tended to focus on pain relief and the management of symptoms through:
Weight loss,
Exercise and
physiotherapy,
Walking aids,
Footwear and insoles,
Knee braces,
Oral pain
relief medication,
Viscosupplement
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
injections,
and , when these therapies fail ,Joint replacement/ knee surgery.
Unlike hyaluronic acid injectables , where there is very little evidence to show that the effect is still noticeable at six months, Arthrosamid® provides a significant reduction in your knee OA pain over a longer period with one single treatment.
If you suffer with osteoarthritis pain and the pain is not controlled by simple painkillers and lifestyle modifications, then you could be suitable for Arthrosamid® treatment. To find out if Arthrosamid® is right for you, please consult the Reborne team.
Arthrosamid® is approved for the symptomatic treatment of knee osteoarthritis so any patient with this condition may be suitable. Over the last 10 years, many patients have benefitted from treatment with the hydrogel in Arthrosamid®. However, treatment with Arthrosamid® may not be suitable for everyone. Your doctor is the best person to advise you, but situations, where you should not use Arthrosamid® (contra-indications), include:
If you have an infection at or near the injection site
If you have haemophilia or take anticoagulant treatment
If you have had a knee arthroscopy within the past 6 months
Additionally, your doctor may advise you not to have treatment with Arthrosamid® if your diabetes is poorly controlled, you are having major dental work, or you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, (such as Multiple Sclerosis, Addison’s, or Coeliac disease). If you are under 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a foreign body in your knee, your doctor may advise against the injection. This is because the safety and effectiveness of Arthrosamid® have not yet been established in these groups.This is not a full list of contraindications.
