"In God we trust, all others must bring data" — W. Edwards Demings

Over the past 6 months of working at Complete Physio we've been collecting data via Patient Watch to monitor pain scores & their changes over time for patients pre & post injection of Arthrosamid, a novel painless injection for knee osteoarthritis by Contura Orthopaedics Ltd. Arthrosamid has attracted much attention over the past few years with its published data on improving knee function and reducing pain and swelling.

1
QR Code Scanning Patients begin by scanning a unique QR code in the waiting room, ensuring accurate data capture and linking all information to their profile.
2
Informed Consent Digital consent forms ensure patients understand the process and agree to participate in outcome tracking, driving 100% compliance.
3
SMS/Email Reminders Automated reminders are sent before each PROMs entry is due, ensuring patients never miss an assessment and compliance remains high.
4
Baseline Assessment Patient-reported measures (WOMAC, Oxford Knee Score, EQ-5D, VAS) and scheduled follow-ups at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
5
Clinical Assessment Clinicians record anatomical and historical data to identify ideal candidates, including cartilage assessment, joint health, and treatment history.
6
Follow-up PROMs Patients complete follow-up assessments at set intervals, with progress tracked and visualized for both patient and clinician.

The green shaded area indicates a clinically meaningful improvement zone (MCID** -9 or greater reduction).

** MCID (Minimal Clinically Important Difference) represents the smallest change in WOMAC score that patients perceive as beneficial.

Key Finding: The Citius RAP achieved a 38.5-point WOMAC improvement at 4 weeks—more than double the improvement seen in other major studies at the same timepoint. This is attributed to careful patient selection and comprehensive rehabilitation protocols.
