Arthrosamid Injections For Knee Arthritis
Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable hydrogel which is injected directly into the knee to cushion the joint and provide pain relief. Patients often experience decreased pain levels within just four weeks, allowing for improved mobility and quality of life.
This ultrasound-guided injection is especially beneficial for patients who have been conservatively managing their symptoms with medication or manual therapy, but are finding these methods no longer provide sufficient relief. Arthrosamid offers a minimally invasive alternative that can help delay the need for knee replacement surgery, providing effective pain relief with less risk and no lengthy recovery time. It’s a valuable option for those looking to manage their symptoms and maintain their mobility without the need for the long recovery time associated with surgery.

How to pay for your treatment
If you’re… paying for yourself
Did you know you don’t need private medical insurance to come to St John & St Elizabeth Hospital? As a self-pay patient, you can access safe, outstanding quality health care at times to suit you.
For scans and tests, as well as to see most consultants, you’ll still need to be referred by a medical professional like your GP, but as a self-pay patient, the process is more straightforward. You won’t need authorisation from an insurance provider, and you’ll have greater choice of consultant and appointment times.
If you’re… insured
St John & St Elizabeth Hospital is approved by all major medical insurance companies. If you have a personal private health insurance policy, or your company provide it for you, you can use it to pay for your care from your initial consultation through to treatment, surgery and aftercare such as physiotherapy.
Not all private health insurance plans cover the same things. It’s very important to check exactly what you are covered for with your insurance provider.
