This unique characteristic makes it an innovative solution, capable of providing a prolonged effect and a new approach to managing osteoarthritis pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Arthrosamid\u00ae?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a new generation injectable treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It is a hydrogel based on polyacrylamide, a biocompatible polymer composed of 97.5% water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injected directly into the knee joint, it acts in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&nbsp;<strong>partially replaces synovial fluid<\/strong>, this natural lubricant of the joints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He creates a&nbsp;<strong>protective barrier<\/strong>&nbsp;which acts as a shock absorber and improves joint function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike absorbable products, this solution remains active in the joint for several years. It thus acts as a&nbsp;<strong>durable cushion<\/strong>&nbsp;which reduces chronic pain and improves mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For which patients is it indicated? <\/strong>This treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Coulin offers this treatment to patients presenting with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sosgenougeneve.ch\/larthrose-mieux-comprendre-cette-maladie\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sosgenougeneve.ch\/larthrose-mieux-comprendre-cette-maladie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">knee osteoarthritis<\/a> moderate to advanced, confirmed by imaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lack of response to classic infiltrations (hyaluronic acid, PRP).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A desire to avoid or postpone the fitting of a prosthesis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The need to regain comfort and mobility without surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This treatment is suitable for both active patients wishing to extend their independence and those with contraindications to surgery.

The procedure is performed&nbsp;<strong>under ultrasound control<\/strong>, guaranteeing maximum precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protocol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single injection of Arthrosamid\u00ae into the knee joint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No general anesthesia required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post-injection monitoring for a few minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The patient can walk immediately afterward, with a recommendation of 48 hours of joint rest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simplicity makes it a lightweight and accessible option, without hospitalization or heavy recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What results can be expected from Arthrosamid\u00ae treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The positive effects appear gradually, usually between 4 and 6 weeks after the injection.
