Knee Osteoarthritis Following Injury

Certain types of injury have been associated with a significantly higher risk of developing osteoarthritis at an early age.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament rupture is one such event, but potentially much more serious is a fracture that passes through the knee joint.

Known as an intra-articular fracture, it can lead to rapid wearing of the joint surface and early onset knee osteoarthritis.

  1. Thanks for info, get to know that recent developments suggest that the use of Unloader knee bracing in combination with Injectable therapies such as Hyaluronic Acid (HLA) or Platelet rich plasma (PrP) offer the next step forward in alleviating the suffering of OA. I read a review as below, may advise me what you think?
