Patient profile

Name: Peter
Age: 67
Occupation: Company Director
Condition: Knee osteoarthritis

Background

Peter, a 67-year-old Company Director, had been suffering from knee osteoarthritis for several years. His symptoms included chronic pain, swelling, and stiffness, significantly affecting his mobility and quality of life. A keen, competitive sailor, Peter was finding it particularly difficult to cope with the effort required to stand whilst sailing. Traditional treatments such as pain medications and physiotherapy provided only temporary relief, and he was concerned about the possibility of needing knee replacement surgery.

Treatment Approach

Peter consulted our clinic, where we recommended Arthrosamid, a new injectable hydrogel treatment designed to provide long-lasting pain relief and improve joint function. After a thorough assessment and discussion of potential benefits and risks, Peter decided to proceed with Arthrosamid.

Procedure

The Arthrosamid injection was administered directly into Peter’s knee joint under ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement. The procedure was quick, minimally invasive, and performed on an outpatient basis, allowing Peter to return home the same day.

Outcome

Within a few weeks, Peter experienced a significant reduction in knee pain and improved joint mobility. He reported being able to walk longer distances and perform daily activities with greater ease and comfort. Follow-up assessments confirmed that over a year on he is still enjoying sustained benefits of Arthrosamid, with no adverse side effects.

Conclusion

Peter’s successful treatment with Arthrosamid highlights its potential as an effective alternative to knee replacement surgery for patients with knee osteoarthritis. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure, combined with long-lasting pain relief and improved joint function, has significantly enhanced Peter’s quality of life.

Patient feedback

“Choosing Arthrosamid was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. The pain relief has been remarkable, and I feel more active and mobile than I have in years, I’m enjoying Sailing again and I’m grateful to the team for their excellent care and support.”
