You know, I was just reading a shocking statistic - only 5% of organizations offer leadership development opportunities, even though 83% say they want to develop leaders at all levels. What's your take on this massive disconnect?

When it comes to the next phase in your knee O-A treatment, choosing between today's best hydrogel injections means assessing your goals and how your options measure up.

Professor Paul Lee, consulting orthopaedic and regenerative surgeon and founder of the MSK Doctors clinics, breaks down the pros and cons of today's primary choices, hyaluronic acid (H-A) and Arthrosamid, explaining their side effects and efficacies in his latest article: Arthrosamid Injections for Knee Pain: Benefits, Side Effects, Cost, FDA Approval.

Hyaluronic acid (H-A) is a naturally occurring substance in your body’s synovial fluids that provides lubrication and cushioning in your joints. H-A injections supplement this fluid to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness, with effects that can last up to six months. The treatment may involve one or several injections, with studies indicating up to 75% of patients reporting noticeable improvement. However, around 1 to 2% of patients may experience an increase in pain, which is often managed with pain relief medication - something many prefer to stay away from.

Arthrosamid is a synthetic hydrogel designed to integrate with your knee's synovial tissue and remain in the joint, offering long-term mechanical support and lubrication. Administered as a single-dose injection, Arthrosamid provides symptom relief for up to three or four years vs. 6 months. In addition, an impressive 80% of patients report significant improvements in their knee function along with reduced pain and stiffness. Common side effects include temporary swelling or a sensation of fullness in the knee.

Professor Lee notes that while both treatments are supported by clinical evidence, Arthrosamid demonstrates superior outcomes in pain and stiffness relief, and joint function, too. This is supported by 20 years of research and data provided in a 2018 study by Bliddal et al, among others.

Professor Lee explains:

“Both hydrogel injections offer important benefits in O-A care. But, for patients seeking longer-term relief without multiple injections, Arthrosamid may offer a preferable solution.”

As awareness of the risks associated with pain relief medications grows, so too does the demand for non-surgical solutions to knee O-A.

In his article, Professor Lee points to real-world applications of Arthrosamid, where personal perspectives complement clinical data. An Olympic athlete who was suffering from knee O-A and chose to undergo Arthrosamid treatment reported the hydrogel not only alleviated their pain, but also enabled them to continue competing at the highest level. Similarly, another patient, who is also a Harley Street GP, reported remarkable improvements in their daily activities and quality of life.

If you’re looking to avoid surgery and regain control of your mobility, hydrogel injections could be your next move. And with MSK Doctors clinics across London offering both treatments, your personalised care plan is just a click away.

Have you ever noticed that everyday, it seems like there's some amazing new discovery, invention, or intervention, in the field of medicine.... but these new discoveries can take seemingly forever to be available to the public?

Well, this time, a new medical advance has made it through 20 years of clinical trials, with no long-term adverse side effects or serious complications - and it's available right now. It's a wonderful new option for folks suffering from osteoarthritis that offers the same of kind of pain and stiffness relief you've come to expect, except that it doesn't wear off in a few weeks or months. You can get more details from an official report on Arthrosamid, and how it works, from the experts at MSK Doctors - just visit the link I left in the description.

Unfortunately, there is still no cure for osteoarthritis, but this new Arthrosamid treatment is the next best thing. It can treat the symptoms long-term, and offer consistent relief from pain and stiffness, without a new injection every few months.

This new technique was originally introduced more than 20 years ago, so you may have heard of it before, and ever since then, Arthrosamid has been undergoing extensive clinical trials to ensure it is safe, reliable, and effective, while causing no long-lasting adverse side effects. The treatment has now been approved for use, after clinical trials have shown that, unlike other knee injection options, Arthrosamid may prevent pain and stiffness for up to 2 years, or longer.

To achieve this longevity while inside a patient's knee, Arthrosamid uses a unique formulation that is mostly water inside a polymer hydrogel, which cannot easily be absorbed by the body.

Now, that may sound scary, I know - but that's why it's been so extensively tested, and it turns out it works remarkably well without any serious complications.

The mechanism of Arthrosamid is similar to other, more traditional knee injections, however due to the non-biodegradable polymer, it has the ability to last longer without being absorbed by the body. As a result, it's the first treatment with the potential to provide multiple years of pain relief.

If you're considering Arthrosamid for your osteoarthritis, there are a few things you should know first. Of course, you should always speak to an expert about the specifics of your case, and how this treatment can help.

Once you book an appointment, Arthrosamid treatment can be completed in a single day, however, you may be asked to refrain from strenuous exercise for the first few days after your injection. This is only temporary and probably isn't a big problem, unless you're planning to leave the clinic and immediately run a marathon.

If you have an athletic lifestyle, Arthrosamid can still almost certainly help, but you should discuss this with your specialist to plan a customised recovery schedule. They'll help you set up a plan to start with casual exercise, and over the course of a few weeks, get back up to your full level of activity.

Now, this may surprise you, but Arthrosamid isn't an easy treatment to access, not yet.

It's approved and available at certain clinics, but as a new treatment that most clinicians don't have experience with yet, it's not exactly available from every medical center.

MSK Doctors in London was one of the first clinics in the UK approved to provide Arthrosamid, and as a result, they still have some of the most experienced specialists currently available. If you live in, or near, London - that's going to be a huge help, because you can book your own appointment and everything.

New patients can schedule their own appointment, for diagnosis, consultation, or treatment, with no GP referral required and no waiting lists. You just call them, or click a few buttons on their website, and you're good to go.

A blurb I'm reading from their full guide to Arthrosamid explains, “Arthrosamid knee injection is a non-degradable hydrogel which means it has the properties to lubricate and cushion for longer. Unlike the other treatments, Arthrosamid also has the ability to become an integrated part of the soft synovial tissue in the joint capsule which may lead to longer-lasting pain relief.”

At the end of the day, there's really only one thing that matters.

Do your knees hurt, and are you tired of treatments that only work for a few weeks or months?

Then ask an expert about Arthrosamid, because it may be able to help.

You can make your own appointment with an Arthrosamid specialist, with no GP referral or waiting list. All the facts, and options for booking, are at the link I left in the description.
