Regener8 Healthcare is revolutionising knee injections in the West Midlands.
Arthrosamid® is a simple, one-step procedure performed by Professor Mark Gillett, our in-house consultant and Chief Medical Officer for the Premier League. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, with no need for surgery.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic condition where the protective cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears down, leading to bone-on-bone contact. This results in stiffness, swelling, and significant pain. Over time, the degeneration of the knee joint can worsen, causing synovial pain and reduced mobility.
Unfortunately, no treatments have been able to fully halt or reverse the progression of OA, and long-lasting pain relief remains challenging. For the millions of people living with knee osteoarthritis — particularly one-third of adults over 65 — current options are largely focused on symptom management, including:
When these approaches no longer provide sufficient relief, joint replacement surgery with an artificial prosthesis is often the final option to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.
At Regener8 Healthcare, we’re committed to offering advanced, evidence-based treatments to manage osteoarthritis effectively and support you in maintaining mobility and well-being.
Synovitis, or synovial pain, is a common symptom experienced by individuals with knee osteoarthritis. It results from inflammation in the synovial tissue within the knee joint and is strongly associated with the intensity of pain reported by OA patients.
What is Synovial Tissue and Where is it Located?
Synovial tissue lines the interior of the knee’s joint capsule, sealing the synovial cavity. This tissue plays essential roles, including maintaining synovial fluid, supporting the nutrition of chondrocytes (cells that form cartilage), and protecting the subchondral bone (the layer beneath the cartilage)
Before treatment with Arthrosamid®, you will have a local anaesthetic to numb the area around your knee.
You should also be given antibiotics ahead of this to protect you from any potential risk of infection.
Your knee is cleaned prior to treatment. Arthrosamid® is then singularly injected into your knee’s synovial cavity. This is sometimes performed with the help of ultrasound.
The needle is then removed and a plaster is placed over the injection site.
Arthrosamid® distributes within the synovial fluid and begins to stick to and mesh with the synovial tissue.
