The Retired Athlete Programme delivers World-Leading Clinical Care to Retired High-Performance Athletes, providing them with a painless injection of Arthrosamid® & rehabilitation used to treat knee osteoarthritis
In this pioneering programme, Citius will provide more than 100 retired Athletes with Arthrosamid®, a clinically proven treatment to relieve pain caused by knee osteoarthritis.
Arthrosamid® is an innovative hydrogel that, upon injection, permanently combines with the knee’s synovial tissue, leading to decreased joint stiffness & improving of the function of the knee so that Athletes can move freely & live fully.

Several Former High-Performance Athletes have already begun treatment, including Ugo Monye, Rugby Player for the British & Irish Lions, England & Harlequins, as well as Nicky Ponsford, Red Rose & now Director of High Performance at World Rugby, who made history becoming the first woman to hold this prestigious position.
The Retired Athlete Programme is available to Athletes from a range of sports, including Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, Golf & Hockey.
// Testimonials
Citius Health Founder, Dr George Bownes, said:
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Contura Orthopaedics to launch the Retired Athlete Programme to offer the pioneering Arthrosamid® injection alongside high-quality bespoke rehabilitation akin to that which the Athletes will have had during their playing days. This then becomes a reproducible model of care that will be open to all would want to lead an active lifestyle and delay or avoid the need for surgery.
We encourage any Retired Athlete across Ruby, Cricket, Tennis, Golf & Hockey currently struggling with knee pain to get in touch.”
