Arthrosamid Injection Cost in London, Kent, and Kingston upon Thames: Complete 2026/2027 Price Guide
Arthrosamid is an advanced, non-biodegradable hydrogel injection designed to manage knee osteoarthritis symptoms (pain and swelling) in selected patients for multiple years.

Delivered by an Orthopaedic & MSK Specialist
Private joint injections require sound orthopaedic diagnostic judgment and precise injection technique. All consultations and procedures at ACTIVATE MSK Clinic are led by Dr. Mustafa Alnaib - Clinic Director, orthopaedic surgeon, and experienced musculoskeletal doctor, with extensive background in musculoskeletal ultrasonography and image-guided joint injections.
If clinical assessment, diagnostic examination or joint space obliteration indicates you would not benefit from Arthrosamid, Dr. Alnaib will provide a surgical or non-surgical alternative recommendation rather than administering an unsuitable injection.
"Dr Alnaib is very patient and professional. I received injections of Arthrosamid in both knees. It's been a month and my knee feels 98 percent. I have no trouble walking." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have the Arthrosamid injection on the same day as my consultation?
If you are travelling from further away and have sent your MRI/X-ray imaging in advance for pre-screening, same-day consultation and treatment appointments can be arranged , provided suitability is confirmed during your appointment. Please mention this when booking via our website
Why is Arthrosamid not covered by Bupa, AXA, or Vitality?
As of date of publcation of this article, UK private medical insurers classify Arthrosamid as a novel implantable device rather than an established acute medical intervention. Consequently, all private clinics across the UK provide Arthrosamid exclusively on a self-pay basis.
How does the 0% financing option work?
Our practice provides 0% interest-free instalment arrangements spanning up to 4 months (via PayPal-in-3 or Clearpay-in-4). This distributes the cost across your recovery timeline without incurring financing charges. You can contact us to request this.
What occurs if clinical and imaging assessment reveal I am unsuitable?
If your assessment reveals end-stage bone-on-bone obliteration, severe joint deformity, or inflammatory arthritis, Dr. Alnaib will advise against the injection. We will explain and outline alternative non-surgical options (such as Costirone or Hyaluronic Acid) or assist you with an orthopaedic surgical referral.
