Sharron Davies MBE
From Olympian to Grade 4 arthritis: How Arthrosamid® helped a legend get back on her bike.
A renowned Olympian and Commonwealth Games athlete, Sharron first burst onto the scene as a 13-year-old in 1976. Nearly 50 years later, she remains one of the UK’s most beloved sportswomen. As a mother, motivational speaker, and television personality, she leads a remarkably busy life.
However, years of intensive training and injuries—including snapping her ACL on Gladiators—took their toll. By age 60, Sharron had developed Grade 4 bone-on-bone arthritis in her knee, holding her back from daily activities.
"I couldn't believe how quick the procedure was, with very little discomfort... Now, thanks to Arthrosamid®, I feel more able to do the things I love with less pain. I’m very glad I gave it a try."
The Clinical Experience
In September 2022, Sharron visited our clinic. In a seamless "one-stop" visit, she underwent an MRI scan, motion analysis, and the Arthrosamid® injection by the AMSK clinical team—all on the same day.
The results were compelling. Follow-up motion capture and MRI results showed improved joint range of motion and balanced weight distribution on landing. Sharron returned to pain-free cycling almost immediately, effectively "buying time" before needing to consider knee replacement surgery.
“Sharron is a high level Olympic athlete, she understands what is required to maintain a healthy body. It is great to be able to help her delay surgery and stay active.”
“We are very proud of the unique injection process that we have developed... it appears to allow patients to respond quickly with reduced chance of side effects.”
