Arthrosamid Case Studies at MyMSK Clinic
Dr Akhtar started injecting Arthrosamid into joints in December 2022.
We here at MyMSK Clinic are always interested in any new treatments for Joint Pain and Arthrosamid represents an exciting project.
In June 2023 Dr Akhtar was invited by Contura Orthopaedics to the factory where Arthrosamid is manufactured and had the opportunity to discuss the patient group that Arthrosamid was most likely to be successful in.
During this visit Dr Akhtar also met the Doctor who first injected a human with Arthrosamid, Dr Hartkopp.
This has fostered a relationship where Dr Akhtar is able to regularly liaise with colleagues around the globe to ensure patients receive up to date information on the product.
This helps ensure we deliver the product carefully and stay up to date with any new developments from Contura Orthopaedics.
Dr Akhtar has experience with the product and feels he can share a few case studies (anonymised) regarding a product he strongly believes in.
If patients wish to discuss Arthrosamid with previous patients, this can be arranged with patient consent.

63 yr old male, Advanced OA right knee on recent Xray (also meniscus knee cartilage removed at the age of 21-22 so a more ‘challenging’ case), wanted to trek to Tanzania with his daughter.(Arthrosamid Injection Dec 2023).
12 week update: in his own words when sharing feedback with us:
‘Apologies for only just replying, but I’m just back from my trek in Tanzania.
There is a massive improvement with my knee, bearing in mind my osteoarthritis is pretty advanced.
I trekked to 6000m over 8 days, and I doubt whether I could have done it so comfortably without the injection.
As the trek with my daughter has meant a great deal to me, the Arthrosamid injection has been worth every penny.
I would recommend the injection to others.’
44 y old body builder with incomplete AC joint separation following an injury.
Has been advised on surgery but unable to take the time off.
Has had multiple steroid and hyaluronic injections into left AC joint and continue to lift heavy weight.
Injections tend to last 4-6 weeks.
Arthrosamid injected August 23. (lasted 8 months before repeat top up)
Dr Akhtar hopes some of these case studies highlight the effectiveness of Arthrosamid and also show that it does not always work. It is important a patient understands this before a deciding on this treatment.
In our experience, it is one of the best available products on the market and is currently now on trial in NHS trusts in the UK with the hope it may lead to a delay at the age at which a patient may require surgery.
