Arthrosamid Injection Therapy Treatments
Arthrosamid injection therapy is a long-lasting, non-surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis designed to help reduce pain, improve mobility and support everyday function.
Unlike traditional steroid or hyaluronic acid injections, Arthrosamid forms a soft cushioning scaffold within the knee joint that remains in place long term.
Following a detailed ultrasound-guided assessment, Dr Bjarni Eyvindsson will determine whether Arthrosamid is suitable for your symptoms and stage of arthritis. Treatment may help patients remain active, improve quality of life and potentially delay the need for knee replacement surgery.

What Is Arthrosamid Injection Therapy?
Arthrosamid injection therapy is an innovative treatment for knee osteoarthritis that provides long-term pain relief and improved joint function without surgery.
Arthrosamid is a non-biodegradable hydrogel that integrates into the synovial tissue lining the knee joint, creating a cushioning effect that may help reduce pain, improve mobility and support everyday activities.
Unlike cortisone injections, which primarily target inflammation, or hyaluronic acid injections, which improve joint lubrication, Arthrosamid is designed to provide a longer-lasting treatment option for patients with knee arthritis.
Following a comprehensive ultrasound-guided assessment, Dr Bjarni Eyvindsson will assess your symptoms, joint health and suitability for treatment.
Arthrosamid may be appropriate for patients looking to remain active, manage osteoarthritis symptoms and potentially delay knee replacement surgery.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions from patients relating to Arthrosamid injection therapy.
What is Arthrosamid?
Arthrosamid is a non-surgical injection treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It is made from a soft hydrogel material that integrates with the lining of the knee joint to help reduce pain, improve mobility and provide long-term symptom relief.
What conditions can Arthrosamid treat?
Arthrosamid is primarily used to treat knee osteoarthritis. It may be suitable for patients experiencing ongoing knee pain, stiffness, reduced mobility and symptoms that are affecting daily activities, exercise or sport.
How does Arthrosamid work?
Once injected into the knee joint, Arthrosamid integrates into the synovial tissue that lines the joint. This creates a cushioning effect that may help reduce pain and improve joint function over the long term.
How is Arthrosamid different from cortisone injections?
Cortisone injections are designed to reduce inflammation and are often used for shorter-term symptom relief. Arthrosamid works differently by integrating into the joint lining and is intended to provide longer-lasting improvements in pain and function for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
How is Arthrosamid different from hyaluronic acid injections?
Hyaluronic acid injections help improve joint lubrication and cushioning. Arthrosamid remains within the joint tissue and is designed as a longer-term treatment option for managing symptoms of knee osteoarthritis.
How long does Arthrosamid last?
Arthrosamid is designed to remain within the knee joint long term. Clinical studies have demonstrated sustained improvements in pain and function for several years in many patients, although individual results vary.
Who is suitable for Arthrosamid injection therapy?
Arthrosamid may be suitable for patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who are looking for a non-surgical treatment option to help reduce pain, improve mobility and potentially delay knee replacement surgery.
Is Arthrosamid a knee replacement alternative?
Arthrosamid is not a replacement for knee replacement surgery, but it may help some patients manage symptoms effectively and postpone the need for surgical intervention.
Are Arthrosamid injections ultrasound guided?
Yes. Patients undergo a detailed assessment with Dr Bjarni Eyvindsson, including ultrasound examination where appropriate, to ensure an accurate diagnosis and determine suitability for treatment.
What happens during an Arthrosamid consultation?
Your appointment includes a comprehensive clinical assessment, review of symptoms, examination of the knee and discussion of treatment options. Dr Eyvindsson will explain the benefits, limitations and suitability of Arthrosamid before recommending a personalised treatment plan.
