Abstract

Acute traumatic knee joint injuries common in athletes and a physically active population have been identified as risk factors for subsequent post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). 1,2 Approximately 12% of the overall burden of osteoarthritis (OA) is attributed to joint trauma.3 Early onset of OA can occur within 10 years after injury,4 indicating that patients with PTOA are much younger (18 to 44 years) than those with idiopathic OA. In the United States alone, there are approximately 5.6 million people suffering from PTOA and the annual health care costs associated with PTOA are estimated to be nearly $12 billion.3.
