Navigating treatment options for knee osteoarthritis can be complex. Join us for a highly focused, no-obligation 15-minute discussion to clarify your personal suitability across the four primary injectable therapies:  Arthrosamid, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Steroid (Corticosteroid), and Hyaluronic Acid (HA).


This session will help you align your treatment choice with your symptom severity, lifestyle, and pain-relief goals:

Steroid

  • Primary Mechanism: Powerful Anti-inflammatory

  • Relief Duration: Short-Term (Weeks to Months)

  • Ideal Candidate Profile: Acute pain flare-ups; need for rapid relief. Limited use due to risk of cartilage damage.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

  • Primary Mechanism: Lubrication/Viscosupplementation

  • Relief Duration: Medium-Term (Up to 6 Months)

  • Ideal Candidate Profile: Mild to moderate OA; symptoms dominated by stiffness and friction.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

  • Primary Mechanism: Biological Healing/Regeneration

  • Relief Duration: Medium to Long-Term (6–12+ Months)

  • Ideal Candidate Profile: Mild to moderate OA; desire for a natural, non-steroid, regenerative approach.

Arthrosamid

  • Primary Mechanism: Non-Degradable Cushioning

  • Relief Duration: Long-Term (3+ Years)

  • Ideal Candidate Profile: Moderate to severe OA; failed response to other injectables; seeking a durable, single-injection alternative to surgery.

In this brief discussion, we will cover:

  • Treatment Triage: Determining which injection is appropriate for your current grade of osteoarthritis (e.g., mild, moderate, or severe).

  • Controlling the Clock: Comparing the speed of relief (fast-acting Steroids vs. gradual Arthrosamid/PRP) with the longevity of effect.

  • Cost-Benefit Analysis: Directly comparing the upfront cost versus the estimated lifespan of the relief offered by each option, emphasizing the differences in total expense due to the need for repeat injections.

  • Long-Term Strategy: Discussing the need for repeat injections (common with HA and Steroids) versus the single-dose, long-lasting nature of Arthrosamid.

  • Contraindications: A review of health factors (like diabetes, active infection, or blood thinners) that may rule out specific injections.

Leave with a clearer roadmap to choosing the injection therapy that best fits your individual clinical needs and lifestyle demands.
